But I wouldn&#8217;t mind both of them &#8230;&#8221;.<br \/>\nSlovenia will face Lithuania (who just defeated Poland) in the final tomorrow.<br \/>\n&#8220;It would be amazing. It would be a dream to be in the Olympics. Not just me, I think the whole federation of Slovenia and the whole country. They really cheer for us and I hope we get to that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0SmO4MgSzEA\" width=\"560\"
