Biography
Markovič began competing in 2001, and participated in the Junior European Cup in lead climbing as well as the World Junior Championships in Imst where she placed 5th in lead and 22nd in speed climbing. In 2003, she stopped competing in speed climbing, although she continues competition in lead.
Between 2004 and 2006, Markovič participated in the adult climbing World Cup and managed to rank 5th in step with Kranj in Slovenia. In addition to adult competitions, she continued to participate in the lead climbing European Cup Junior and finished first at many stages, allowing her to win the cup in 2005.
As of 2009, she participated in the climbing world cup block and the world championships in three disciplines: speed, difficulty and bouldering. In September, at the Rock Master in Arco, she finished 2nd behind Angela Eiter.
In 2011, she decided to participate in most of the stages of the World Cup in both lead and bouldering. In bouldering she ended her season in 5th place, despite a victory in the final stage in Munich. In lead she achieved her great success: she finished third in Puurs, second at Briançon and Boulder and first in Chamonix, Xining, Changzhi, Amman, and Barcelona. These results enable her to win the Lead World Cup 2011 over Jain Kim and Maja Vidmar.
