The athletes - 28 men and 36 women - will be accompanied by a team of 54 coaches, six doctors, five physiotherapists and two sports psychologists, OKS President Janez Kocijančič revealed at a press conference.

The selection of the Olympics line-up took over two years.

Bogdan Gabrovec, OKS vice-president and leader of the Slovenian team, was upbeat about the success of the Slovenian Olympic team.
