This seems in poor taste now that they didn't medal. Even a bronze would have made for a triumphant return to Slovenia. I will bet this is called off. Furthermore I heard that he might sign a 3 plus 1 deal instead.

How is this in poor taste? I think it’s great that our leadership team is going to visit his home country. And he’s going to be like 200 million!!! Richer after their visit. He will have other opportunities to get a medal. Where did you hear the 3+1 ?

Agree!. I was totally off on that one. I very much underestimated how much the Slovenian fans and citizens valued the effort and even making it as far as they did. Thanks for the reminder. No excuses. It was a fucking moronic take on my part. I award myself no points and may god have mercy on my soul...
