Ski Jumping Sensation Peter Prevc to Retire After Current Season

Originally published in L'Équipe on February 06, 2024

Peter Prevc, the celebrated Slovenian ski jumper, has declared that the current season will mark the end of his illustrious career in the World Cup circuit. At just 31 years old, Prevc has made an indelible mark on the sport, highlighted by his extraordinary performance during the 2016 season. That year, he not only triumphed in the prestigious Four Hills Tournament but also set a record for the highest total points ever accumulated in the competition's history, culminating in his first overall World Cup crystal globe.

Recognized as Slovenia's most accomplished ski jumper, Prevc boasts an impressive collection of accolades, including four Olympic medals, among which is a gold earned in the mixed event at the 2022 Beijing Olympics. Over the course of his remarkable journey, he has secured victories in 23 World Cup events and won four crystal globes. Prevc’s retirement will be officially marked after the World Cup event held in Planica, Slovenia, later this month.
