	Agency	Top Athletics
	Discipline:	100m, 200m
	Date of birth:	17.12.1989

Profile

My name is Maja Mihalinec Zidar and I am a sprinter from Slovenia. I started my athletic journey in 2003, after a school teacher noticed my talent as a sprinter. I was faster than all the boys in my class so I decided to switch from volleyball and give athletics a try. Sprinting was my first and only love and ever since then I've been competing in 60 m, 100 m and 200 m dash.

Athletics has given me great opportunities. Through it I met many good friends, including my husband, travelled across the world and got the opportunity to obtain my bachelor degrees in Communication and Spanish language at the University of Nebraska - Omaha.

I own a couple Slovenian junior records and am a 13-times Slovenian senior national champion. My greatest international achievements are sixth place over 60 m at the European Indoor Championships in Glasgow and 12th place in the 200 m race at the IAAF World Championships in Doha. I won gold medals at two major international competitions; in 100 m sprint at the European Games in Minsk and at the World Military Games in Wuhan in 200 m sprint. I made my Olympic debut at the Rio de Janeiro 2016 games and am looking forward to compete in the Olympics again in Tokyo.
