First of all i want to say that @schkure inspired me with his blog on this theme.
As a kid i was really into sports, my favorite was handball, but i had some problems with my left knee and i wasn't able to play few trainings in the week. My max was one or two training. The biggest problem was when i jump and stand on the left foot i had lot of pain. But to be honest my firs love was skiing. And still it is..
I was really young when first time i tried to ski. I think i was 3 years old it was in Slovenia at Rogla in Mariborsko Pohorje. I can remember this times barely but it was really beautiful time. I was really happy when i was skiing, and then all begun, when Janica and Ivica Kostelic, brother and sister from Croatia who were really poor family achieved lot of medals in Olimpics and Wold Cup. I was totally crazy about skiing, my life goal was to become skier. But when i think about that times now i can say , that was just a dream unfortunately.
Now i am still ski lover, but to recreate, not on pro level.. It is beautiful to ski, you can see mountains fresh air, and meet good people.
