Janja Garnbret Claims Second Place at European Games
(FOTO: Damjan Žibert) Janja Garnbret, a prominent Slovenian athlete, secured second place at the European Games, finishing with a score of 44.7 points. The competition was closely contested, with Frenchwoman Zelia Avezou ultimately taking the gold medal with 84.8 points, holding a narrow lead over Janja Garnbret’s 84.6. Australian Oceana Mackenzie placed third with 69.6 points.
This result marks a significant return for Garnbret, who had taken a considerable break from competition since the 2024 Olympic year. Last year, she participated in only three events, achieving victory in all three. Since the World Championship in Bern on August 12, 2023, where she secured silver despite winning the final summit, Garnbret has maintained an undefeated streak.
A notable victory occurred on September 6th in Koper, where Garnbret celebrated her 49th World Cup win before a supportive home crowd. This achievement solidified her status as the first world champion since the 2023 World Championships in Seoul.
