Slovenian snowboarders won two medals at the Olympic parallel giant slalom. Tim Mastnak got silver in the men’s category as one of the medal favourites, while Gloria Kotnik won bronze in the women’s competition, a feat few had expected prior to the Olympic Games.
For both Mastnak and Kotnik, these were the first Olympic medals, whereas the country tally at the games has risen to five, making Slovenia one of the most successful participating nations.
