Slovenia is shaking with jumping fever. On Friday, the first race in ski jumping in the new season (2016/17) is on the schedule, where Peter Prevc, who wrote a golden chapter in the history of ski jumping last season, is starting his title defense. In the dreamy past season, he not only jumped onto the jumping Olympus, he also conquered everything there was to conquer, and at the same time broke many records and raised the appetites of the already demanding Slovenian public, who ate out of the hands of the Slovenian eagles last season. The jumpers are ready for the new season, which starts with Friday's match in Kuusamo (November 25, 2016), followed by a new one on Saturday.
