FYI: Ljubljana/Maribor, 12 February - Slovenians will not have to travel to Vancouver to partake in Olympic festivities. Instead, Ljubljana and Maribor will bring the Olympic atmosphere to Slovenia with a two-week celebration of sports and fun.
The centre of Ljubljana will be abuzz every day from 5 PM, bringing an array of sports and entertainment activities free of charge. A big-screen TV will also be put up and all performances of Slovenian athletes and other big events will be broadcast live.
For a trip down memory lane, visitors will get to hang out with skiing legends Bojan Krizaj, Primoz Peterka, Mateja Svet and Boris Strel, according to the Slovenian Olympic Committee.
A special challenge will be a long-jump competition in skiing boots with former skier Jure Kosir.
A curling sheet will be put up in Preseren Square providing a rare opportunity for people to try a sport that is very popular in Canada.
On 3 March Ljubljana will also host the main reception for the homecoming Olympic team.
