Both athletes expressed satisfaction with their performances, though they acknowledged room for improvement. Vodan stated, “For me, it was a great day. Despite being ill these days, I handled the competition very solidly. I know where I still have reserves, and I believe I can recover them. But first, I need to focus on my health, then tomorrow’s race and then back home.” Prevc added, “For me, this was my first competition of the summer season. My jumps were not in line with my plan, I know I can do much better. What matters is that I gather myself and prepare for tomorrow, and enjoy the competitions.” Other Slovenian participants included Ajda Košnjek (14th), Jerica Jesenko (16th), Nina Kontrec (20th), and Taja Sitar (21st).

Prevec noted, “In the first round, I made a mistake, and conditions weren’t ideal. However, I managed to qualify for the second round, which gave me some enjoyment. Some things worked out well, including a higher takeoff point. There’s still some reserve left to use. We have more work and dedicated training sessions ahead, both in fitness and specialized hill training.” Among other notable performances, Žak Mogel (22nd) and Rok Masle (26th) represented Slovenia among the top performers, while younger athletes such as Urban Šimnic (35th), Jaka Kramer (39th), and Mai Zakelšek (48th) did not meet expectations in the second round.
