Po stopničke v Kranju se podaja tudi Živa Javornik s svojo novo partnerico Tajdo Lovšin! 🤩

Tako Živa kot Tajda imata za seboj več naslovov državnih prvakinj in osvojene MEVZA turnirje, letos pa sta prvič združili moči in izmenjali soigralki - njuni prejšnji soigralki Tjaša Kotnik in Maja Marolt zdaj nastopata skupaj. Živa in Tajda sta se očitno izvrstno ujeli, saj sta v letošnji sezoni že osvojili turnir slovaške serije v Bratislavi in dosegli tretje mesto na turnirju serije Futures v Cervii. 💪

Živa Javornik: "S Tajdo sva želeli čim bolj napredovati in dobiti čim več izkušenj na turnirjih v tujini. Najino trdo delo od januarja naprej se je že obrestovalo z zmago v Bratislavi in tretjim ter petim mestom na turnirjih serije Futures. Eden izmed ciljev je tudi MEVZA turnir v Kranju, kjer je domače okolje, domači gledalci in vedno želja po stopničkah. Predvsem želiva pred domačimi gledalci prikazati igro, za katero sva delali celo sezono." 🔥

Spremljajte Živo in Tajdo med 23. in 26. julijem v športnem parku Stražišče v Kranju ali na https://mevza-kranj.com/ ⛱

Živa Javornik and her new partner Tajda Lovšin are also going for the podium in Kranj! 🤩

Both Živa and Tajda have several national championship titles and MEVZA tournament wins, and this year they've teamed up for the first time and switched partners – their previous partners Tjaša Kotnik and Maja Marolt are now playing together. Živa and Tajda have clearly clicked, as this season they've already won a Slovak series tournament in Bratislava and achieved third place at a Futures series tournament in Cervia. 💪

Živa Javornik: "Tajda and I wanted to improve as much as possible and gain experience at tournaments abroad. Our hard work since January has already paid off with a win in Bratislava and a third and fifth place finish at Futures series tournaments. One of the goals is also the MEVZA tournament in Kranj, where there's a home environment, home spectators, and always a desire for the podium. We want to show the game we've been working on all season in front of the home crowd." 🔥

Na MEVZA turnir v Kranju se vrača tudi legenda slovenske odbojke na mivki in lastnik rekordnih desetih naslovov državnega prvaka, Danijel Pokeršnik! 🔥

Pri svojih 40 letih še vedno niza vrhunske rezultate - na turnirju serije Futures v Bujumburi je osvojil četrto, na MEVZA turnirju v Bibinjah pa peto mesto. 💪

Na Zavarovalnica Sava Championship 2025 bo nastopil z Denisom Robido, pred turnirjem pa je dejal: “Kot vedno je na turnirju v Kranju dobra konkurenca, tako da bodo na vsaki tekmi odločale malenkosti. Z Denisom sva - kot zanimivost - igrala skupaj že na vseh podlagah: na vodi, v dvorani, na snegu in na mivki, tako da se dobro poznava. Upam, da bo to najin skrivni adut do čim boljšega rezultata.” 🏐

At the Zavarovalnica Sava Championship 2025, he will compete alongside Denis Robida, and ahead of the tournament he said: “As always, there’s strong competition at the tournament in Kranj, so every match will be decided by small details. Denis and I – fun fact – have already played together on every surface: on water, indoors, on snow, and on sand, so we know each other well. I hope this will be our secret weapon for achieving the best possible result.” 🏐
