In this thesis, we analyzed results in the Slovenian alpine skiing between years 1974 and 2017. Based on the analysis of the results, from World Cup races, we defined periods of succes in both men's and women's alpine skiing.
Over the past four decades, Slovenian skiing has received many successes, as well as periods of crises and poorer results. On the basis of the results achieved, the most important periods were defined, for both men and women alpine skiing. On the basis of factors of success in sport, we then highlighted those sets of performance factors that were the most typical for a certain period of time.
The biggest successes in the Slovenian alpine skiing starts with Bojan Križaj. He, first warns of himself at the 1974 World Cup in St. Moritz, at the age of 17. A year later, in season 1974/75, Križaj became the young European slalom champion in Mayerhofen (AUT). Later, in addition to Križaj, many other skiers were also responsible for many successes. Those skiers were then responsible for our recognition and were, especially during Yugoslavia, an important symbol of national identification.
