AWARDING OF THE GOLDEN ROG WHEEL AND 75 YEARS OF KD ROG
Tadej Pogačar, Urška Žigart and Gal Glivar became the recipients of the Golden Rog Bicycle for 2024, which has been awarded by KD Rog since 1982. At yesterday's event at the Grand Hotel Plaza in Ljubljana, in addition to the award ceremony, we also celebrated the 75th anniversary of the largest cycling association in Slovenia.
The Rog Ljubljana Cycling Association has been establishing itself as a cradle of young and talented cyclists for three quarters of a century. With its rich history and tradition, the club has raised numerous top cyclists and has won medals at world championships and the Olympic Games. The association is particularly proud of the successes achieved by former member Tadej Pogačar in the last five years. His support for the youth in the Pogi Team has attracted many young people and raised interest in cycling in Slovenia.
The Rog Cycling Association strives to be not just a sports club, but also a school for life, where young people learn the importance of healthy habits and hard work through sport. The association is home to the men's continental team Ljubljana Gusto Santic, the women's youth BTC City Scott Ljubljana and the member continental team BTC City Ljubljana Zhiraf Ambedo, as well as the children's and youth team Pogi Team UAE Generali.
For decades, the Rog Cycling Association has also proven itself as an excellent organizer of cycling races and events, with the @maratonfranja_btc_city , which is considered the largest Slovenian cycling event for amateur and recreational cyclists.
