Domen Prevc Claims Large Hill Gold With Final-Jump Surge at Milan Cortina

The world champion validated pre-event expectations in rainy Predazzo.

Overview

  • Prevc delivered the night’s longest final jump at 141.5 meters to overtake first-round leader Ren Nikaido.
  • He finished with 301.8 points, 6.8 ahead of Nikaido, with Poland’s Kacper Tomasiak earning bronze a further 3.8 back.
  • The victory marked Prevc’s second gold of these Games following Slovenia’s mixed-team triumph earlier in the week.
  • Nikaido, already a bronze medalist on the normal hill and in the mixed team, settled for silver after a 136.5-meter last attempt.
  • All three medalists are first-time Olympians who have excelled on the Predazzo hill, where rain shaped conditions throughout the event.
