There’s dominance, and then there’s Janja Garnbret. By 20, she’d done what no climber, man or woman, had ever achieved: won every competition in a World Cup season. She’s a two-time Olympic champion, a six-time World Champion, and the only athlete in climbing history to rule Lead, Bouldering, and Combined at the highest level.

This very special episode of Feel Slovenia features an in-depth interview with Janja herself. We’ll uncover a side of her that doesn’t wear chalk on her hands or medals around her neck. We’ll learn where she likes to take visitors to Slovenia, the climb that has eluded her but which she dreams about, whether there will be a climbing wall in her newly built house, and how her nutrition plan differs from fellow Slovenian superstar Luka Dončič. All that and more, as part of this special episode with Janja Garnbret, the GOAT of climbing.

For this episode, Dr. Noah Charney heads to Nova Gorica. Just across the Italian border is Gorizia. They’re two cities that were separated by a chalk line drawn in the middle of the night in 1947. But now, they’re united for something remarkable: the first transnational European Capital of Culture.

The project, called GO!2025, is well underway and already a huge success. But you’ve got another half a year to check it out, if you haven’t yet.

This episode is all about the event and what you can see when you visit, with Dr. Charney joined by Erika Lojk from the Vipava and Nova Gorica Tourist Board and Mija Lorbek, CEO of GO!2025.
