For those of you just tuning into this blog, allow me to re-introduce the coach I'm working with over the Internet this season: Maks Frančeškin of Ljubljana, Slovenia. Anybody interested in learning more about Maks's coaching services should visit his website. Also, Face Book users can "like" his page, "MaksFit," on that social media platform.
This might come as a shock, but I am not Maks's highest-profile athlete. He's just wrapped up a few weeks of selection trials in which his Slovenian athletes were vying for the chance to compete internationally in flatwater sprint, whitewater slalom, and downriver (wildwater) racing.
As a result of these trials, one of Maks's athletes is now an Olympian: Eva Ter
Maks will be busy the rest of the summer as well, as at least a dozen of his athletes will represent Slovenia in other international competitions. Simon Oven, Anze Urankar, Tim Novak, Ana Steblaj will race in the senior world championships and European championships; Ana Steblaj, Urban Novak, Ziva Jancar, Nejc Gradisek will race in the under-23 worlds and the World Cup series; and Tjas Til Kupsch, Matevz Kampjut, Nika Ozimc, Sara Globokar, Helena Domajnko have qualified for the junior world championships.
If I ever make it over to Slovenia, perhaps I'll have the honor of getting spanked in a workout or two by some of these athletes.
