Niki, Prevec and Vodan, they have chosen the Continental Cup.

The Slovenian ski jumping teams, led by last winter's hero Nika and Domen Prevc, have completed their preparations for the upcoming season. The teams have been training since May to ensure they are optimally prepared for the start of the season, which is set to begin in 74 days. Both male and female teams faced challenges due to delays at the Planica facility but managed to conduct all planned training sessions using nearby quality facilities. The women's team trained in Innsbruck and Bischofshofen, while the men's team conducted technical preparation in Lillehammer, where the winter season will start. Coaches expressed satisfaction with the progress made so far, noting that the foundation of the teams is strong, though individual athletes need to refine specific aspects before the first competitions. Domen Prevc, who had many sponsorship obligations after his successful season, remains focused on the new season and acknowledges high expectations placed upon him.

The Slovenian ski jumping teams have completed their summer preparations according to plan, with both the men's and women's squads led by last winter’s champions Nika and Domen Prevc readying for the upcoming season. According to team leader Gorazd Pogorelčnik, there are still 74 days until the first competitions of the new season. For now, both teams have followed their training schedules as planned. “There are still 14 days until my first summer competition, and I’m very curious how it will go,” said Nika Prevc. Her brother Domen Prevc acknowledged that high expectations would be placed upon him. “I also have high expectations. So far, we’ve set things up well.” Pogorelčnik noted that all teams have been working since May to ensure optimal preparation for the start of the season. He explained that athletes have a very short break after Planica due to its reconstruction. “The men were abroad more this year, completing technical preparations in Lillehammer, where the winter season starts. The women trained more at home and had training sessions in Innsbruck, where their first New Year’s tour awaits.” He added that despite some challenges due to the delayed operation of the jump ramp at Planica, enough quality facilities nearby allowed them to conduct all training sessions as planned. Women’s team selector Jurij Tepeš expressed satisfaction with the progress made so far. “Training is going according to plan. This year, we were less mobile compared to the men’s team, trying to train on jumps where we also compete in winter. We have two new venues, Innsbruck and Bischofshofen, where we haven’t jumped much before. Now, the real competition period begins for us.” Some female jumpers will participate in the Continental Cup, including Nika Prevc and Nika Vodan, while others will compete in the Summer Grand Prix. In October, they will also have sea training before gradually moving into the winter. Selector of male jumpers Robert Hrgota emphasized that the foundation is solid. “Each athlete has some details to work on individually, so everyone will compete in some events by the end of the summer, followed by final preparations at home for the first winter tests.” Domen Prevc, who had many sponsorship obligations following his outstanding season, stated he enjoys fulfilling these commitments and feels they do not burden him. He mentioned that the title of best jumper from last winter hasn’t faded, but his focus is on the new season. “I am taking on a bit more work and activities myself, but I admit it’s nice on one side. There are still 12 weeks until the start of the season, so we need to fully implement the plans we set in April,” he said. “We already decided what needs improvement, what to build on, even regarding equipment. From next season, a lot will be expected from me. I also have high expectations. So far, we’re well prepared.” During the summer, Domen Prevc met with cyclist Tadej Pogačar during the Pogi Challenge event. “It was an interesting connection. Pogačar is someone I really like. After getting to know him better and starting conversations, I realized how similar our approaches are in certain areas. Our methods are quite alike. That’s great,” he said. He revealed that they agreed to meet again soon, possibly in Monaco or nearby, to exchange ideas further. “Getting information from top professionals is very valuable. There’s a lot of knowledge and theory they process to deal with their fields. These insights can be very useful in your own work.” Domen Prevc also visited Red Bull’s hangar, which might become a sponsor for his team. Additionally, he attended a celebration for Slovenia’s national day. Earlier in August, he met Pogačar at the Pogi Challenge event and discussed potential future meetings. “Pogačar is someone I really like. After getting to know him better and starting conversations, I realized how similar our approaches are in certain areas. Our methods are quite alike. That’s great,” he said. He revealed that they agreed to meet again soon, possibly in Monaco or nearby, to exchange ideas further. “Getting information from top professionals is very valuable. There’s a lot of knowledge and theory they process to deal with their fields. These insights can be very useful in your own work.”
