Besides Unuk, Bruno Parma (1961) and Luka Lenič (2002) are the two Slovenes to have received world youth champion titles. The Slovene team has not yet won a title.
Unuk swept her opponents to one side, securing the title in the penultimate round. She was two points ahead her closest rivals. After an opening victory Unuk was unexpectedly defeated in the 2nd round, but this only encouraged her to line up seven consecutive victories and thus receive a second championship title following on from 2014.
