Nika Prevc Sets Women’s Ski Jumping World Record at 236 Meters

The 19-year-old Slovenian achieved the record during training in Vikersund, surpassing the previous mark by 5.5 meters.

Nika Prevc, a 19-year-old Slovenian skier, broke the women’s ski jumping world record with a 236-meter jump during training in Vikersund, Norway.
The previous record of 230.5 meters was held by Norway’s Silje Opseth, set at the same venue in 2024.
Prevc achieved the record twice in training on Friday, just one day after securing the overall World Cup title in Oslo.
Vikersund’s ski flying hill has a history of record-breaking jumps, including the men’s record of 253.5 meters by Austria’s Stefan Kraft in 2017.
The weekend will feature the only two women’s ski flying World Cup events of the season, alongside competitions for men at the same location.
