One of the most recognizable and beloved athletes from Velenje, Gloria follows in the footsteps of the town’s exceptional sports figures like Jolanda Čeplak, Katarina Srebotnik, Vid Kavtičnik, and Dejan Vinčič. But unlike running, tennis rackets, or balls, Gloria truly excels on a snowboard. At her fourth Olympic Games, at the age of 33 in Beijing, she achieved a remarkable milestone—winning a bronze medal. With this achievement, she became an inspiration to many female athletes in Slovenia and beyond, showing that perseverance and fighting for your goals truly matter. In addition to her Olympic success, Gloria has also claimed a World Cup victory and a second-place finish, solidifying her place among the best in her sport.

Gloria is also an ambassador for the Colmar, POC, Mico and Diadora brands, perfectly representing the values ​​of all four brands with energy, style and professional approach - from technical perfection and top protection to comfort and sporty elegance in everyday life.
