Nika Prevc breaks hill record: ninth win in a row in Lahti!

In Lahti, Nika Prevc dominates the ski jumping scene and continues her impressive winning streak! On Thursday, the Slovenian athlete secured her ninth victory in a row at the penultimate World Cup competition of the season. With a sensational hill record of 135.5 meters and a total of 302.8 points, she left the German Selina Freitag and the Canadian Alexandria Loutitt behind. Freitag jumped at 122 and 121 meters and scored 277.4 points, while Loutitt got 275.1 points at 126.5 and 121 meters skijumping.com reported.

Jacqueline Seifriedsberger was the best Austrian, achieving a strong result with fifth place, but only one meter behind the required number of points for the jump gate, as she remarked on ORF TV: "One meter hurts. We took a risk once, it didn't work out in this case." Nevertheless, she was satisfied with her result, especially since she didn't complain about the end of the season and said she was already tired. In addition to Seifriedsberger, Lisa Eder and Eva Pinkelnig were also able to collect points after finishing eighth and twelfth.

The fight for the record

Prevc, who is already the overall World Cup winner, will be able to equal Sara Takanashi's record with her next victory. “I don’t want to put any pressure on myself,” explained Prevc, who is concentrating on shining in the last competition of the season. In the qualification, she impressively improved her teammate Nika Vodan's old hill record. The big season finale is on Friday and all eyes will be on Prevc, who wants to shine in the last big competition with her outstanding form trend. Meanwhile, the international competition is also strong, with the competition in Lahti continuing to provide exciting moments.
