Domen Prevc soars to Four Hills ski jump title to emulate brother
Slovenia's Domen Prevc matched the exploits of his older brother Peter and fulfilled a "childhood dream" with victory in the prestigious Four Hills World Cup ski-jumping competition on Tuesday.
A decade after his brother's triumph Prevc won the two German jumps in Oberstdorf and Garmisch-Partenkirchen, finished second in Innsbruck and in the final stage to take the coveted title.
At Bischofshofen, the 26-year-old produced jumps of 138m and 138.5m (299.8 points) to be edged out by outgoing Four Hills champion Daniel Tschofenig of Austria (137m and 140.5m, 303.9 points).
In the overall standings of the event established in 1953, Prevc, with a total of 1,195.6 points, finished ahead of two Austrians, Jan Horl (1,153.3 points) and Stephan Embacher (1,123.5 points).
"Winning this title means more than anything," said Prevc who finished only 21st in the Four Hills last season.
He added: "It also confirms that I'm heading in the right direction and that I need to keep going this way.
"The last jump was really tough; I was under pressure, telling myself 'Don't mess it all up, hold it together'.
"Winning the Golden Eagle (trophy) is a childhood dream."
The Slovenian comes from a well known ski jumping family -- his brother Peter won the Four Hills in 2015–16 and, in the same winter, the Crystal Globe as world number one, as well as four Olympic medals.
His sister Nika, 20, and a double world champion, is dominating the women's ski jump World Cup and notched her seventh win of the winter on Tuesday in Villach, Austria.
Prevc is enjoying the best World Cup season of his career.
The double 2025 world champion, who holds the ski flying world record with a leap of 254.5 metres, has already won seven World Cup events this winter and will be the favourite for the Milan–Cortina Olympics starting on February 6.
