Urska Hrovat is the best Slovenian slalom
skier since the legendary Mateja Svet. Hrovat
has racked up five world cup slalom victories
since 1992 as well as a bronze medal at the
1996 FIS World Championships at Sierra Nevada.
After an impressive win at Park City in the
first slalom of the 1998/99 season, the Ljubljana
native rain into problems due to injuries.
But Urska was the still best racer from her
team at the at Vail World Championships with
her 7th place in slalom.
A very aggressive skier, Hrovat
excels on
hard and difficult courses but
she has a
hard time staying motivated.
She seriously
injured her right knee in a GS
crash at Cortina
d'Ampezzo in January 1997, but
worked hard
to come back and won the last
slalom at the
World Cup finals in Crans-Montana
in March
1998.
Her entire family in fond of sports: her father Sacha, used to race Grand
Prix motorcycles. Her younger sister Hana is also a top tennis player at
just 8 years of age. Urska is already planning for life after skiing by
buying a coffee-shop in Ljubljana, the ≪Cafe Antico≫. Her boy-friend
Tobias Hellmann, a former skier in the Swedish team, is helping her run
it. But right now, Hrovat want a few more good seasons and hopefully slalom
victories in her future.
