Arguably the most brutal running event in the world, the Red Bull 400 Planica 2016, the run to the top of the Gorišek brothers' airfield, which is officially the steepest 400-meter uphill run in Europe, is approaching. The fourth chance to win the run with a start at the bottom of the giant mountain (that is where the Slovenian eagles usually land) and the finish at the top of the starting ramp will be offered to mountain runners on September 17, 2016.
Peter Prevc
After Primož Peterka, Peter Prevc became the second Slovene to win the big crystal globe and the New Year's jumping tour, thus placing a golden eagle in his showcase. Prevc is also the Slovenian record holder for the number of victories, and he has already decided twenty-one individual matches in his favor, fifteen in the 2015/16 season alone. With him as three-time Slovenian athlete of the year, Slovenia is celebrating its hero, who is rewriting jumping history. We present to you all the victories of Petr Prevac.
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?
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.
