Competition slalom

Jure Meglič

I was born on October 18, 1984 in Kranj, just a few kilometers out of Slovenian capital city Ljubljana. In my childhood I spent a lot of holidays with my family near rivers where I got opportunity to sit in the boat for the first time. That immediately impressed me and in 1995 I started to train in the biggest club in Slovenia, named KKK Tacen. Until I was junior I was paddling and competing white water slalom and down river. Later I decided just for white water slalom, because I found myself in it.
