Four years later at the London games he was one of the top favorites for gold in the K1 event. He made the final after recording the fastest time in the semi-final, but after a disappointing run in the final he could only finish in sixth place.[1] He was also the Slovenian flag-bearer at the London games.[2] He won his first Olympic medal, a silver in the K1 event, at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. He then finished 12th in the K1 event at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo after being eliminated in the semi-final.
He won six medals at the ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships with two golds (K1: 2009,[3] 2011[4]) and four bronzes (K1: 2017, K1 team: 2005, 2017, 2021).
