Athlete-of- the-Year awards were presented to best athletes at the Cankarjev dom on 19 December. As expected, alpine skier Tina Maze was crowned athlete of the year among women athletes, following a record season, in which she won the Big Crystal Globe. Maze is employed in the Top Athlete Section of the Police Academy.
The same title among men was awarded to ski jumper Peter Prevc, for winning two medals (silver and bronze) at the World Championship. Prevc will be another top athlete to be employed with the Police from the beginning of 2014.
