The venue will be the one that was resurrected after 17 years to close the 2022 season: the DH Legends track through the ski slopes and forests on the northern slope of Sljeme mountain above Zagreb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will also be this year&#8217;s Croatian National Downhill Championships, the only official downhill race in Croatia this year, alongside the iXS European DH Cup race in Lo\u0161inj.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1300\" height=\"879\" src=\"https:\/\/sloveniadownhillcup.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/220915_dhsljeme_berginc_dsimic_1300.jpg\" alt=\"luka berginc\" class=\"wp-image-53259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mail.sloveniadownhillcup.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/220915_dhsljeme_berginc_dsimic_1300.jpg 1300w, https:\/\/mail.sloveniadownhillcup.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/220915_dhsljeme_berginc_dsimic_1300-640x433.jpg 640w, https:\/\/mail.sloveniadownhillcup.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/220915_dhsljeme_berginc_dsimic_1300-1280x865.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/mail.sloveniadownhillcup.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/220915_dhsljeme_berginc_dsimic_1300-768x519.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1300px) 100vw, 1300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Last year&#8217;s winner Luka Berginc, photo by Du\u0161ko Simi\u0107<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Downhill Legends<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With a length of about 1900 m and an elevation drop of 270 m, it is not one of the longest runs and also has some fast sections. So when the two-time Slovenian champion Luka Berginc drops in, you get a time of one minute and 45 seconds, the 2022 winning time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The DSR &#8211; Bike Park Sljeme team, led by Croatian downhill veteran Nino Ru\u017ei\u010dka, will surely have the track well prepared again and the DH Sljeme 2023 will be ready to start! Unfortunately, the chairlift was damaged by the summer storm, which also caused a lot of extra work on the course, so the transport to the start will be by shuttles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3
