Planica 2016 will take place from Thursday, March 17, 2016, when the qualifications will be held, until Sunday, March 20, 2016, when the curtain will fall on the 2015/16 season in ski jumping with an individual competition. The program will be very varied, and the Slovenian jumpers, led by Peter Prevec, with their exceptional performances, are the best possible invitation to Ponce, where a new sports holiday awaits us. Last year in Planica we saw three Slovenian victories and a heartbreaking playoff, and although it seems that this cannot be surpassed in terms of emotional charge, we can expect an unprecedented spectacle in 2016 as well. Tickets are already on sale.

Thanks to Petr Prevac, ski jumping became the number 1 sport in Slovenia overnight. That's why an application prepared by OK Planica and the Skiing Association of Slovenia in cooperation with the Zaki company, with which you can transform into Slovenian eagles and the world and show your friends who is the best.
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.
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?
