The Olympic Games in Russia

We, Slovenians, keep repeating that we live in a small country and that there are only two million Slovenians living here, on the sunny side of the Alps. But just imagine, although we are so small and “scarse”, we have, on the seventh day of the Olympic Games, already won one gold, one silver and two bronze medals. Amazing, isn’t it? Hearing our national anthem at such competitions always brings tears into my eyes. I am proud of being a Slovenian (as long as it doesn’t get to the politics and the economic situation in my country).

I saw Slovenia and Slovakia compete in the men's ice hockey. I've been really enjoying watching the winter Olympics.

The guys won another game against Austria today. This is for them almost like winning a gold medal. :)

Well done! I guess winning against a strong winter sport team like Austria is a good achievement? :)
