Personal life

Urška Žigart

Žigart's partner is cyclist Tadej Pogačar, a four-time Tour de France winner. They became engaged in September 2021. After Pogačar withdrew from the Slovenia team for the Paris Olympics due to "extreme fatigue", he said his decision was also swayed by the Slovenian Olympic Committee, which had not selected Žigart, who had won the Slovenian road race and time trial championships that year, to compete at the Games.
