The Slovenian wonder girls

Slovenia has less than 2 million inhabitants, but in the WC lead they are well represented; #1 Maja Vidmar, #4 Natalija Gros, #6 Mina Markovic and #15 Lucka Franko (who was third in last WC) and we should also add Martina Cufar who started competing 10 years ago but now focus on sport climbing and Yosemite, New blog. As strange as it might sound, but the secret seems to be that they train one by one, in small boulder gyms, 5 - 7 days a week with their trainers. Maja has won the last six WC and Natalija , with a superb webpage is the combined winner as she was #3 in the WC boulder. Photo: Maja Vidmar in the secret room together with here trainer Roman Krajnik. Here she has trained 6-7 days a week during the last seven years, with a record of 22 straight training days.
