Jumper Peter Prevc is our main asset at the 50th World Nordic Skiing Championship 2015, which is being held this year in Falun, Sweden. Prevc, the bird man, as he was nicknamed after he became the first man to fly 250 meters in Vikersund last weekend, belongs to the narrow circle of favorites to win (according to the FIS, he is even the first favorite), but the Slovenians have him and 16 other irons in the fire. Will Zdravljica resonate at this world championship as well?
Jumper Peter Prevc is our main asset in Falun, where the Nordics between February 18 and March 1, 2015 they fight for 21 sets of medals in eleven disciplines. "Mišica" will be in the game for three (February 21, 26 and 28), namely on the medium (HS100) and large ski jump (HS134), where the team match will also take place, in which Slovenia won convincingly last time in the World Cup. Peter took part in the team's victories seven times, and among individuals he conquered the competition five times.
From 2010, when he began his career in the first division, he is the last two seasons regular guest of the victory stage. He was already standing on one of the steps 22 times, so for each year of his life he jumped one place among the top three. But according to the trend, we believe that he will complete his showcase before he turns 23.

Otherwise, Petra is decorated with extraordinary mental toughness, which, in combination with work elan- Elan incidentally, it is also the brand of his skis - despite his youth, he is already seriously threatening milestones Primož Peterka, who decided in his favor 15 matches, collected enviable 34 steps and won the big crystal globe twice. However, Prevc has already achieved something that Peterka failed to do in her entire thirteen-year career. Celebrate the victory in his native Planica, which happened last year (albeit at Bloudka Velikanka and not at the airport of the Gotrišek brothers, but still).
Peterka held the Slovenian record for a while and was the first Slovene to fly over 200 meter mark, but the title of record holder was soon taken from him by the current selector of the Slovenian national team, Goran Janus. You clearly own this one now boy from Dolenje village (before him was the Slovenian record holder Robert Kranjec), who was also the world record holder for a little less than 24 hours (for that many after 15 years snatched from the hands of the Scandinavians in their yard, but the second Slovene, after Jože Šlibar, who held the absolute record) and who will try to enrich his opus of precious metals from major competitions, from which he has already brought honors, at the World Championship. Four bronze and two silver (Oslo, Val di Fiemme, Harrachov, Sochi), to be precise. Peter is certainly capable, not only of ennobling a collection of snowflakes, but also their nobility. But before that, let's take a look at all of his victories so far.

By the way, you knew what was the reason for Prevč's somewhat unfortunate performance on Sunday in Vikersund? Since he had flown so far (a quarter of a kilometer) the previous day, he had problems with "jet lag"!
