Slovenia’s Nika Prevc celebrated her 20th birthday on Saturday with an eighth consecutive World Cup victory after winning the women’s Flying Hill in Vikersund, Norway.
Prevc dominated the 22-woman field at the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup on Saturday with a 213.5-metre jump which secured her 201.1 points, while fellow Slovenian jumper Ema Klinec took second place with 204.5m and 169.8 points.
Germany’s Selina Freitag rounded out the podium with a flight of 200.0m and 157.0 points.
"I think I have a new favourite hill, or I’m sure it is," said Nika Prevc.
The last time the Slovenian ski jumper competed in Vikersund in 2024, she finished 11th.
Klinec finished third on the same hill in 2024, while last year’s winner and local favourite Eirin Maria Kvandal (NOR) narrowly missed the podium on Saturday with fourth place.
Prevc’s win on Saturday comes just after the two-time individual World Champion secured the 2024/25 Crystal Globe on Thursday following victory in the women’s Large Hill at the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup event in Oslo.
The achievement is Prevc’s second consecutive Globe of her career.
Prevc also set a new world record on Friday with a jump of 236m during the first and third training round of the Flying Hill competition.
"The record was more important to me," she admitted.
Prevc’s Flying Hill win on Saturday marks her 13th World Cup victory this season. The 20-year-old will also contest the second women’s Ski Flying event in Vikersund on Sunday.
"I’m still very hyped for tomorrow and we’ll see what it brings," said Prevc.
