Sibling Ski Jumping Supremacy: Prevc Duo Dominates!

Slovenian siblings Nika and Domen Prevc showcased their dominance in ski jumping by securing victories in their respective World Cup events on Saturday, January 17, 2026. Nika Prevc's impressive jump of 134.5 meters in Zhangjiakou, China, clinched her fifth consecutive win of the 2026 season. The women's competition was shortened to one round because of challenging wind conditions.

In the men's event held in Sapporo, Japan, Domen Prevc delivered a commanding performance. He achieved a total score of 285.7 points with jumps measuring 132 meters and 141 meters, extending his successful season. The home crowd celebrated Japanese athletes Naoki Nakamura and Ren Nikaidō who finished second and third, respectively.

Meanwhile, German ski jumper Karl Geiger's Olympic aspirations are in jeopardy. Following a 27th-place finish after struggling in the second round in Sapporo, Geiger now faces an uphill battle to qualify for the 2026 Olympics. He needs to achieve top results in upcoming events to meet the qualification criteria.
