Nika Prevc’s Season Performance |
Nika Prevc has been in superlative form throughout the 2024/25 season, securing a glorious second Crystal Globe. Her fiercely competitive rivalry with other top jumpers made her season even more exciting. Nika’s 15 World Cup victories this season speak to her exceptional skill and consistency throughout the challenging ski jumping season. |
2025 World Championships |
Earlier this month, Prevc secured gold in both the women’s large hill and normal hill events at the 2025 World Championships. This double victory solidified her status as one of the sport’s top contenders, especially after finishing second. |
World Record Jump |
On 14 March, just a day after clinching the overall title, Prevc etched her name in the history books with a record-breaking 236-meter jump at the World Cup stage in Vikersund, Norway. This leap was a remarkable display of both Prevc’s technical ability. |
Prevc’s Historic Opportunity |
Even with two World titles, the Two Nights Tour crown, and the 2024/25 Crystal Globe under her belt, Prevc still has a chance to make even more history in Lahti. She can achieve something extraordinary by matching Sara Takanashi‘s record of 10 successive World Cup wins. Takanashi, the 2018 Winter Olympics bronze medallist, accomplished this feat between December 2015 and July 2016. |
Women’s Season-ending Double Header |
Preparation for an exceptional event has begun. Takanashi’s historic win provides context to what is expected. The women’s season-ending double header in Finland offers Prevc a golden opportunity. If Prevc matches Takanashi’s record or surpasses it, she will set a new benchmark that will likely stand for years. Not to mention the legendary record she could reclaim. |
