A winning approach and optimistic mindset are thus paving Slovenia’s way among the athletic superpowers. The fans keep in step with these efforts, as they have become indispensable companions to our athletes: no matter where they are competing, the Slovenian anthem reverberates proudly and powerfully.
The idea behind the exhibition entitled Walking in the Shoes of Champions: Slovenians and Their Sports Achievements emerged from precisely this sort of enthusiasm. It centres around the wish to collect and show in one place all the diversity of the many accolades won over the past 31 years, and to display the successes of our athletes, which are based on the knowledge of Slovenian experts and the rich tradition of sports. The exhibition’s narrative centres on the individuals, successful Slovenian athletes, winners of medals at the European, World and Olympic levels. They present themselves with descriptions of their achievements, remarkable stories and quotes. This narrative was supplemented by items and sports equipment that helped our athletes achieve their goals. These are items contributed by the athletes themselves, helping to create the exhibition and providing a personal note for which we are extremely grateful. The exhibition is rounded off with interactive elements that offer visitors the chance to walk in the shoes of our champions.
The exhibition was made possible by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia.
