Peter Prevc [ preu̯t͡s ] (born September 20, 1992 in Kranj ) is a Slovenian ski jumper . He won the Four Hills Tournament 2015/16 , individual gold at the Ski Flying World Championship 2016 and the overall World Cup of the 2015/16 season . In addition, he won a total of five medals at the Nordic World Ski Championships and Olympic Winter Games .

Career

Prevc, who jumps for SK Triglav Kranj, started in the FIS Cup for the first time in 2006 as a 13-year-old . In the 2008/09 season, the Slovenian scored his first points in the Ski Jumping Continental Cup . He was second on the podium on his home hill in Kranj and on the large hill at Pragelato . Between these two successes Prevc was at the Junior World Championships 2009 in Štrbské Pleso at the start, where he took sixth place in individual jumping and fifth in team jumping.

At the Slovenian Ski Jumping Championships 2009 in Kranj, he won the team competition together with Robert Kranjec , Primož Peterka and Jaka Oblak and was fifth in the individual competition. In the same year he was also successful at the European Youth Olympic Winter Festival in Szczyrk, Poland, and secured the gold medal in both the individual and the team.

In December 2009, Peter Prevc joined the Slovenian World Cup team instead of Jernej Damjan . In Lillehammer he immediately qualified for the main competition, where he achieved his first World Cup points with 22nd place - albeit aided by snowfall. At the Junior World Championships 2010 in Hinterzarten , he secured the silver medal in the individual competition on the normal hill and the bronze medal with the team. At the Slovenian Ski Jumping Championships in Kranj in 2010 , he won gold in team jumping as in 2009.

At the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver , seventeen-year-old Prevc came seventh in jumping from the normal hill. On the large hill he was 16th, with the team he reached eighth place.

At the Nordic World Ski Championships in Oslo in 2011 he started for Slovenia in all four jumping competitions. On the normal hill he reached 17th place in the individual and sixth place with the team. From the large hill he reached the 25th place in individual jumping. In team competition he won the bronze medal together with Jurij Tepeš , Jernej Damjan and Robert Kranjec . At the Slovenian championships in 2011 he defended the team title with the SK Triglav Kranj team, while he came second in the individual competition. A year later he was able to earn his first individual title. The most successful year of his career so far was crowned by the election of the Slovenian ski jumping team (together with Robert Kranjec, Jurij Tepeš and Jernej Damjan) as Team of the Year in Slovenia.

On February 19, 2012, he won the team competition with the Slovenian team on the Heini-Klopfer ski jumping hill in Oberstdorf , not only winning the first World Cup victory of his career. The Slovenian team also won a team competition in the World Cup for the first time. During his jump to 225.5 meters, which he could not stand, he tore ligaments in his shoulder.

At the Nordic World Ski Championships in 2013 in Val di Fiemme , he finished third behind Anders Bardal and Gregor Schlierenzauer in jumping on the normal hill and took bronze. When jumping on the large hill on February 28, 2013 he finished second behind Kamil Stoch and thus won silver ahead of Anders Jacobsen . With the Slovenian team he was eighth in the mixed team competition held for the first time on the normal hill and sixth on the large hill.

Peter Prevc (2015)

He celebrated his first World Cup victory in individual jumping on January 12, 2014 in ski flying in Tauplitz am Kulm , which was followed by the second success in a World Cup competition just two weeks later in Sapporo . On February 9th, he won silver at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi on the normal hill behind Kamil Stoch . He also won the bronze medal in the competition on the large hill. With the Slovenian team, he finished fifth. At the ski flying world championship in 2014 in March, he won the bronze medal in the individual behind Severin Freund and Anders Bardal. He ended the season with another ski flying victory in Planica and second place in the overall World Cup ranking and victory in the ski flying ranking.

On July 26, 2014, he achieved his first individual victory in the Summer Grand Prix at the Malinka in Wisła .

On February 14, 2015, at the World Cup event at Vikersundbakken, he was the first ski jumper to fly to 250.0 meters, with which he set a new ski flying world record. This record was improved by Anders Fannemel the following day .

On March 20, 2015, he managed a flight of 248.5 meters on the Letalnica von Planica in his home country . He exceeded the hill record set by Michael Hayböck on the same day by seven meters. In the second round he received a grade of 20 five times for his flight at 233 meters , a rating that only five other jumpers had received before him. As in the previous season, Prevc achieved second place overall in the 2014/15 World Cup. He finished the season tied with World Cup winner Severin Freund , but had won fewer individual competitions than Freund, which is why he finished second in the overall World Cup. He also defended his title in the ski flying classification.

In the 2015/16 season he won the last three World Cup competitions before the Four Hills Tournament and thus went into the tour as the World Cup leader and favorite. After finishing third in the first competition in Oberstdorf, he won the three other tour competitions and the overall ranking. On January 16, 2016 Prevc became individual world champion at the Ski Flying World Championships in Bad Mitterndorf, Austria, and improved the hill record twice, most recently to 244 meters. On February 28, 2016, Prevc secured victory in the overall World Cup for the 2015/16 season . With 15 World Cup victories in one season, he set a new record. He is the first ski jumper to win the Four Hills Tournament, the Ski Flying World Championships and the overall World Cup in one season. In addition to winning the overall World Cup, he also won the ski flying rating for the third time in a row. With 2303 points in the overall World Cup, 22 podium places and a lead of 813 points over the second Severin Freund, he set further records. In 29 competitions he achieved 2303 points, which corresponds to an average of 79.4 points per competition, which is also a new record.

After finishing in the top two in the overall World Cup for three years in a row and even being the dominant ski jumper in the World Cup in the 2015/16 season, he was unable to build on this performance from the 2016/17 season. On February 11, 2017, he won his 22nd individual World Cup of his career in Sapporo . In addition to another podium finish in third, this was his only victory in the 2016/17 season, which he finished ninth in the overall World Cup. In the 2017/18 season he only achieved a single podium in the World Cup as third in Zakopane . In the overall World Cup, he finished 15th. At the Ski Flying World Championships 2018 in Oberstdorf he finished sixth in the individual and, together with Jernej Damjan , Anže Semenič and his brother Domen Prevc, won the silver medal in the team competition in second behind Norway. At the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang , he was part of the five-man Slovenian squad and was used in all three competitions. In the individual competition on the normal hill , he took twelfth place and in the individual competition on the large hill he took tenth place. With the Slovenian team, he was fifth in the team competition on the large hill .

Prevc rose after an injury break only on December 15 in Engelberg in the World Cup season 2018/19 , where he jumped into the points on the second day of competition with the sixteenth place. After he was eighteenth in Oberstdorf , he finished the Four Hills Tournament after the unsuccessful qualification in Garmisch-Partenkirchen . In the following weeks Prevc fought for his form, which is why he took a break from competition after the World Cup in Predazzo and withdrew to train. At the 2019 World Championships in Seefeld , he took 16th place on the large hill and 24th place on the normal hill. He finished sixth with the Slovenian men's team and fourth with the mixed team. After he ranked fifth in difficult conditions after the first round at the normal hill competition on the Toni-Seelos-Olympiaschanze , Prevc only jumped 93.0 meters in the second round and ended up in 24th place. The sporting director of the German team, Horst Hüttel, criticized the jury for not intervening because of the heavy snowfall: “The second round was completely irregular. If that is not irregular, then I no longer understand the world. There is competition management for this. They failed miserably. ”The Austrian association president Peter Schröcksnadel also spoke of a lottery and criticized sticking to the schedule:“ We were lucky. We won a bronze in the lottery and we're happy about that. It was a crazy jump and not regular for me. (...) If you had to wait a little longer you could have covered the heaviest snowfall, the quick pull-through just for television was not the right thing to do. ”He achieved his best season position in an individual competition on March 10th at Raw Air 2019 in Oslo , where he vom Holmenkollbakken was third and thus reached the podium for the first time since January 2018. Six days later, he and his Slovenian teammates Anže Semenič , his brother Domen and Timi Zajc won the team ski flying from Vikersundbakken and for the first time in three years he was on the top of the podium in a team competition.
