GOVSI Podcast: Paris, here we come!

With the new episode of the GOVSI Podcast, we are counting down the last days until the Olympic Games in Paris. In the studio, we hosted the president of the Olympic Committee of Slovenia, Franjo Bobinac. Petra Bezjak Cirman, director of the Office of Communications of the Republic of Slovenia, spoke with him.

Slovenia will be represented in Paris by the largest national team ever, with as many as 90 members. Although each of them deserves a special mention, let's single out the women's handball national team this time, as it is the first placement at the OI for any women's team sport in our country.

Paris is the venue of the Olympic Games for the third time. Those exactly one hundred years ago, in 1924, are particularly famous for us, as Olympian Leon Štukelj became the first Slovenian to win a gold medal there.

If you will be among the fans between July 26 and August 11, we recommend that you read the information intended for Slovenian citizens. Otherwise - as this time's guest points out in the podcast - wherever you are, we believe that from July 26, all of Slovenia will breathe with our athletes as one.

Paris, here we come!
