Miroslav Cerar
The god of pommel horse returns
to the legendary Olympus
The legend is nowadays repeatedly misused; only the rare ones would deserve it. Among them are certainly those who are born with talent and build their character with hard work. To the top. To the point where you cannot go any higher.
And such is Miroslav Cerar.

Legends are among us also...
Legends are among us also to nurture them. Cerar, who recently turned 80, is facing a new challenge this year. 56 years after his first ascend to Olympus, the god of horse will be in Golden Olympic Tokyo again - as the head of the Slovenian delegation at the 2020 Olympic Games. In addition to his remarkable successes, Miroslav Cerar also left a mark on Slovenian society with his example and lifestyle. “Gratitude and modesty must be maintained. This helps to shape a better person, unity and thus a better society,” is his advice to his successors, Olympic travellers under the Slovenian flag, for whom the legend will be an additional motive in the Olympic year.
