V Slovenski hiši je bilo danes še posebej toplo,

obiskala nas je Petra Majdič in veselili smo se

še ene srebrne medalje Tine Maze.

Petra Majdič je prišla v Slovensko hišo

dobre volje in je povedala, da se počuti

mnogo bolje. Že pozno popoldne

je imela v našem prijetnem ambientu

nekaj intervjujev za tuje medijske hiše.

Po prijetnem popoldnevu smo zakorakali

v bolj živahen večer.

Ker je imela naša srebrna Tina Maze

naslednji dan tekmo, se je slavju odpovedala

in se raje osredotočila na tekmovanje. 

Prestavljen drugi tek ženskega veleslaloma

nam je pač malo zagodel, ampak veseli

smo bili pa vseeno, skupaj s Tininimi navijači.

Večer je tako pripadel Petri Majdič,

ki se zdaj že počuti tako dobro, da smo

lahko proslavili njen »zlati« bron.

»Enkrat smo že praznovali to medaljo

in nismo vedeli, ali naj bomo veseli ali žalostni.

Prvič se nam je namreč zgodilo, da dobitnice

medalje ni bilo na slavju«,

je povedal mag. Janez Kocijančič

v uvodnem nagovoru.

Izpostavil je, da je Petrina medalja

nastala iz bolečine in se zaradi tega

iz srca zahvalil Petri za to, kar nam je dala.

»Tako lepe medalje že dolgo nismo imeli.«

 Gospod Kocijančič je še povedal, da bi rad,

da se Slovenci nekaj naučimo od Petre,

predvsem te pozitivne energije.

»Iskrene čestitke, Petra!«

V imenu Smučarske zveze Slovenije

se je Petrinemu uspehu poklonil

in zahvalil tudi predsednik Stane Valant.

Petra Majdič pa nam je povedala,

da je ta medalja prišla iz velike bolečine.

»V življenju se lepe stvari rojevajo iz bolečine«,

je povedala. In dodala, da je ta medalja

tu tudi zaradi ekipe. »Želela bi si,

da danes vsi zaploskamo Tini. J

e prva Slovenka, ki je osvojila dve

olimpijski kolajni«, je Petra čestitala tudi

Tini Maze za njeno srebro v veleslalomu.

Petrin trener Ivan Hudač pa je k temu

le še dodal, da bodo za takšne rezultate

skušali poskrbeti tudi v prihodnje.

Petri Majdič je prišel čestitat tudi

predsednik olimpijskega komiteja

Srbije Vlade Divac.

Another medal for Tina,

while Petra Majdič visits the Slovenia House

It was particularly pleasant at the Slovenia

House today – we were visited by Petra Majdič,

and rejoiced when Tina Maze won another

silver medal. Petra Majdič came to the

Slovenia House in good spirits and said

she felt much better. In the late afternoon,

she gave a few interviews to foreign journalists

in the congenial setting of the Slovenia House,

which was followed by a lively evening.

Because the silver-medal winner Tina Maze

 had another run the next day,

she did not participate in the celebrations,

but focused on the competition.

The changed time of the second run

of the women's giant slalom changed

our plans a bit, but did not influence our

good mood. Therefore, the queen of the night

was Petra Majdič, who now feels well enough

to celebrate her 'golden' bronze.

“We've already celebrated this medal once,

and did not know whether to be happy or sad.

It was the first time that the winner of the

medal could not attend the celebrations,

” said Janez Kocijančič in his opening speech.

He stressed that Petra’s medal came out of pain,

and sincerely thanked Petra for what she gave us.

“We haven’t had such a beautiful medal for

a long time.” He also said he would like

Slovenians to learn something from Petra,

particularly her positive energy.

“Congratulations, Petra!”

Petra Majdič told us how much pain

there had been in winning the medal.

“In life, beautiful things are born out of pain,

” she said, adding that the medal was here

also thanks to the team. “I’d like everyone

to put their hands together for Tina.

She is the first Slovenian woman to win

two Olympic medals.” Petra congratulated

Tina Maze on the silver in the giant slalom.

Petra’s coach, Ivan Hudač, added that they

would try to ensure such results in the future.

Petra was also visited and congratulated

by Vlade Divac, the former basketball player in the NBA.
