Luka Božič (born 9 January 1991) is a Slovenian slalom canoeist who has competed at the international level since 2006. He started out as a C2 paddler partnering Sašo Taljat in the boat until the C2 event was discontinued in 2017. Since 2013 he has been competing internationally in C1.
He won seven medals at the ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships with two golds (C2: 2014, C1 team: 2022), a silver (C1 team: 2018) and four bronzes (C1: 2019, C2: 2009, C1 team: 2014, 2015). He also won 10 medals (4 golds, 3 silvers and 3 bronzes) at the European Championships.[1]
Božič won the overall world cup title in the C1 class in 2023, becoming the first Slovenian to do so in single canoe.
At the 2012 Summer Olympics in London he competed in the C2 event where he finished in 8th place after being eliminated in the semi-final. Four years later in Rio de Janeiro he finished in 7th place in the same event.[2][3][4][5]
