Sport – Slovenia’s world champions Nika and Domen Prevc

Nika’s record-breaking season

Ski jumping is much more than a sport in Slovenia. It is a way of thinking, a feeling, a shared moment when we hold our breath, when we soar alongside the jumper and watch with deep pride as our small country demonstrates once again why it belongs at the very pinnacle of the world ski jumping elite – where it has been for decades.

The biggest star of the 2024–25 season was Nika Prevc. With 15 wins, ten of them consecutive, two gold medals at the World Championships and her second successive big crystal globe as overall points winner, she became a symbol of sporting excellence, determination and a new generation of Slovene champions. Undefeated from February onwards, she ended the season with a record points margin over the runner-up.

The crowning moment of her winter came in Vikersund in March, when she set the women’s world record with a 236-metre jump. She actually landed on the record mark twice.

Nika captured hearts with her calm demeanour, maturity of character and incredible technical precision. There was something perfect in every jump. The stamp that bears her image pays tribute to a season in which she flew further than any woman before her and into the history books.
