Top-8 U-13, Luče 24.5.2026

An old proverb says: "Where the bull goes, the rope follows" — and our Aurora Hrovatin clearly lives by it. Day by day she is improving, gradually gaining competitive experience, while also achieving one success after another.

This Sunday she had to wake up quite early, as she had over two hours of travel ahead to the town of Luče, where the NTZS Top-8 U-13 tournament (boys and girls under 13) was scheduled. Aurora competed in Group C (ranked 17–24), where she bravely faced more experienced opponents. Despite some initial nerves, which she quickly overcame, she started well and maintained solid play throughout all 7 matches. With a positive record (4 wins, 3 losses), she finished 4th in her group of eight, which places her 20th overall in the national rankings.
