European Youth Olympics Festival » Maribor 2023
Maribor, Slovenia – The 17th edition of the European Youth Olympic Festival, also known as EYOF 2023 or Maribor 2023, takes place from July 23 to 29, 2023 in Maribor and is an exciting showcase of young talent in various sports. Among the athletes who represented the Slovenian women's cycling team was the promising cyclist Vesna Potočnik (BTC City Ljubljana Team), who participated in both the time trial (TT) and the road race (RR).
The cobbled streets of Maribor witnessed intense competitions in the girls' and boys' road race, which ended today. Both races were tightly contested, with Italy winning the girls and Great Britain winning the boys. We experienced a particularly exciting moment in the boys' race, when the British cyclist Himds Max broke away on his own and led as much as 50 kilometers out of the total distance of 68 kilometers. Vanja Kuntarič Žibert (Pogi TEAM) forced the pursuit of the runaway cyclist and remained on the run for more than 20 km. Despite his valiant efforts, he was unable to catch the leading Briton, with the bulk of the pack catching him on the penultimate lap. Unfortunately, Bastian Petrič was unlucky as he was involved in a fall on the slope during the penultimate lap, which prevented him from catching the main group. However, Maia Prevejšek from @adriamobilcycling barely missed the podium with an excellent fourth place in the finishing sprint.
Congratulations to all participants for their dedication and successful performances!
