“Hanna Mazi Jamnik Left Us,

During the preparations in Norway, the life of our young cross-country skier, Hana Mazi Jamnnik, ended in a tragic accident. 

Hana Mazi Jamnik successfully performed at the Blink Festival in Norway last week. Before the home World Championship in Planica 2023, she was included in the Slovenian A national team for the first time.

Last year, the 19-year-old won the title of junior world champion in the 10km free technique and was the runner-up in the 13km classic technique.

In Finland in February 2021, she was 12th place at the junior world championships in the 5km free technique. Two years ago, she also won the summer national championship in Dolo near Ljubljana.

Our sincere condolences to the family.

Hana, you will always be in our thoughts. We will miss you.”
