Incorrect.

Are you freakin kidding me????
That's crazy.
Which country has produced more NBA players, Slovenia or Lithuania? I'm guessing Lithuania.
Its land is mostly mountainous, and its chief export is chrome.
Traces of heavy metals in the water, perhaps?
If you don't believe people are getting taller in general, just look at the high school football rosters this fall and compare them to when you played. In just 10 years (for me), the height & size of kids are unreal!
Can you say "chemically enhanced? "
What, Slovenians or high school kids? It probably has more to do with increased prenatal care & more available nutrition for growing children in modern society (in both cases).
I had to make a reply to this topic...
You guys should understand this:
Slovenia is a sporting country. Even the main tourist activities are adventure and extreme sports.
And for the reply on "the choice Poland had to make", hehe...
Well here goes:
- Slovenia has the only man that swam across whole rivers like Mississippi, Jangcekiang, Themse, Dunau and many other multimile long rivers - Martin Strel
- Slovenia has the best cycler over US (last and this year winner of the race across USA) - Jure Robic
- Slovenia has the best rower in the world after english Sir Steven Redgrave - Iztok Cop - this year he is aiming for two medals on WC
- Slovenia has one of the best rifle shooters in the world (scored some 5 or more world records) - Rajmond Debevec
- Slovenia has one of the best handball teams in the world (man and even women europe champs)
- Paraski World Champion in individual and team run Matej Becan
- Slovenia has a pair of best Latino-american dancers in the world (won some 3-5 world championships) Ventorini-Skufca
- Judo and kickboxing is also high in the world
- hack we even have an American Football team that was just after the NATO guys in the Adriatic Cup (central europe)
- we also had some of the best skiers, ski jumpers, bowlers, soccer (although I kind of don't think it's a succes just to be part of the FIFA WC)
And I believe I left some important guys out, but you got the picture... Slovenians live for sports...

Oh, and for those of you who have not yet noticed from this thread - or other similar one: We're extremely proud and protective of our little country (when we were attacked in 1991, Austria built a couple of refugee camps on our borders capable of accepting thousands of refugees - a total of 4 families showed up, most of them Czech tourists).
Americans do not have the monopoly on patriotism
Not arguing the fact, but I just don't think dancing qualifies as a sport my friend LOL Other than that a very impressive list of accoplishments for a nation that only has what? 2 million inhabitants?
heh.. tell that to the dancers if you dare... Dancing is in the news Sports section though... (not really like chess)
:P

slovenija is awesome..been there many times.. great wine, great women, great scenery..what more could you want... and the people are some of the nicest in europe and they speak english more than any other country
Been there - has to be the darn BEER!
[QUOTE=Slomo]
hehehe i live here!
You are so lucky! I can't wait to go there!
yeah it's a nice place. right above the church you can see the castle on the rock.
the story goes, that when the slovan/slavic tribes (our ancestors) went deeper and deeper towards the western europe, fighting their way and nothing could stop them. when they came to Bled (place pictured), they saw this heaven on earth and were so moved that a tear fell over their cheeks. they stopped, droped their weapons, forgot about fighting and settled here. Bled is now one of the most western slavic towns in europe.
Slovenia has such a romantic history, it seems. It is definitely a must see place for me!
You can immediately spot the connoisseurs
Slovenians love their Beer and Wine. Our anthem is a toast - need I say more?
Here is my first post on this forum and I must say that I dont speak English very god but I will try my best. I am learning fast.
I just wanted to say that I love my Slovenia!
We have everything.
Welcome Sloman!
= )
Your country looks beautiful!
