The Ski Jumping World Cup (FIS) is one of the most massive and recognizable sports events in Slovenia. However, the increased traffic it generates each year puts a strain on the environment that is often overlooked. In cooperation with Planica, Mastercard has designed the SharePlanica.si car-sharing platform in the framework of the SharePlanica.si project in order to reduce the amount of CO2 emissions in personal transport. In addition, Mastercard will restore forests with the Priceless Planet Coalition project to further reduce the CO2 emissions of participants' personal transportation.

The FIS Ski Jumping World Cup Planica 2021 is starting, and Pivovarna Laško Union is also a proud sponsor of it.

With the Laško brand campaign, they are actively encouraging all fans to hang the Slovenian flag on the front of their homes between March 25 and 28 as a sign of support and encouragement for the Slovenian Eagles.

Ljubno 2017 is approaching, a new jumping holiday in Ljubno ob Savinja, where last year as many as 20 thousand people gathered under Rajhovka, which is located in a wonderful corner of the Upper Savinja valley, in two days! On February 11 and 12, 2017, Ljubno will host the Women's Ski Jumping World Cup for the seventh time. The best invitation is certainly the excellent success of our eagles this season as well.

Planica 2017 will take place from March 24 to 26, 2017. Last year, an extraordinary 111 thousand spectators gathered in Planica. For the third time, we were able to celebrate the overall victory of Slovenian jumpers in the World Cup. In 1997 and 1998, Primož Peterka finished under Ponci with a big crystal in his hands, and last year the incomparable Peter Prevc repeated this success with a dream season. In 2016, the Slovenians took all the victories from the valley under Poncami, and this year our ski jumpers will be among the favorites in both individual competitions, and we can also hope for a fight for the top in the team competition. Tickets are already on sale.

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.

This is courage! For 19-year-old Fabian Bösch, the current world champion in freestyle skiing in the snow park, this adrenaline sports discipline is clearly not getting the heart rate up enough, so he set himself an even bolder challenge. And if his heart didn't beat wildly this time when he went backwards down the ski jump, turned around in the air, landed on the back of the jump and then jumped again and did a forward roll before landing, then he's not human! Watch his incredible jump that will take your breath away.

Tired of just being a spectator at ski jumps? Now you can ski over the world record length (251.5 m) and at the same time break the Slovenian record held by Peter Prevc with 250 meters. While a steel cable was recently strung over the ski jump in Planica, something similar was also done in Bohinj, where the ski jumping center in Polje was equipped with a device for simulating jumps, the first of its kind in Slovenia. The attraction BohinjSKI FLYer is marketed on the first crowdfunding platform TravelStarter, which is intended only for tourism-related projects and is also the result of Slovenian knowledge.

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?
