In the history of judo, Urška Žolnir is one of the names the record keeps returning to.
The record lists Urška Žolnir as Slovenian judoka.
Urška Žolnir was born at Celje in 1981. Her recorded nationality is Slovenia.
Modern sport is measured to the hundredth of a second, watched globally and supported by full-time coaching, medicine and analytics.
She competed at 2008 Summer Olympics, judo at the 2004 Summer Olympics – women's 63 kg and judo at the 2012 Summer Olympics – women's 63 kg.
Sport records everything, which means a reputation there is harder to inflate than almost anywhere else.
Her record includes the Bloudek award and Slovenian Sportsperson of the Year.
That the career was built from Slovenia matters: facilities, coaching and funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide who ever reaches the start line.
Urška Žolnir is still competing or recently retired, and the final placing in the sport's history is not yet settled.
