Slovenian pride: Prevc and Planica

Prevc, who had secured the overall World Cup win prior to Planica, cemented his place in the history books with the record 15th individual victory of the season and the 22nd podium finish. The 2015/2016 season established Slovenia as a ski jumping superpower, as Prevc pulled the entire team ahead.

Planica, the symbolic centre of Slovenian ski jumping, was a curse for Prevc last year, with a weak final jump costing him the overall World Cup win. This year, he had secured the win prior to Planica but he still feels Planica is a special place.

"Last year it was raining, this year the weather held up. What symbolism. It has paid off to wait and work," Prevc said.

This was the seventh career World Cup win for the 34-year-old Robert Kranjec, while Prevc improved on his all-time record in points won to 2,203 and grabbed an all-time record 21th podium finish...
