Sigi and his fan in Rogla

The Number 19

 

Nineteen years ago I was nineteen years of age when I became Junior World Champion in Rogla 1994. Yesterday I started the PGS on the same hill with bib number nineteen.

It was a great race with a perfect carving slope and carving course. The snow demanded for 100% carving which was great fun. I finished the race on 13th place after I got edged by French carving machine Sylvain Dufour.

Rogla 2013 was a race that brought a big smile on everyones face: The riders enjoyed the carve and the cheering of the crowd. This was a race which should be seen as a standard for World Cup races. Perfect snow and well prepared piste for carving in combination with a great course setting. Lots of people working and helping on the slope and all the Slovenian fans come to cheer their local riders – Hvala Rogla, hope you make a race next year again!
