BIO


After joining the Slovenian Olympic legends with three Olympic medals and becoming the best Slovenian sailor of all time, he also became one of the most successful sailors in the world with Olympic medals in two different classes, a bronze (Athens 2004) and a silver (Beijing 2008) in the Laser Standard class, followed by a silver (Rio 2016) in the Finn class. In total, he has won six European medals and one World Championship medal. Alongside his Olympic career, Vasilij was leading the Spanish Green Comm Racing team as helmsman in the 2011 Americas Cup Qualifiers, and was tactician for the unbeatable Esimit Europa 2 crew that dominated the maxi racing fields between 2010 and 2014. Vasilij is also a member of the World of Sailing's Athletes' Commission Committee, while his latest big challenge is to build and lead the Slovenian SSL Gold Cup team, a task he has been pursuing with passion and responsibility ever since the SSL Gold Cup Council entrusted him with the position to lead one of the top 20 countries in 2019.
