Prevc was second going into the final round with an opening jump of 132m for a points total of 130.0, just 1.3pts behind first round-leader Jan Hoerl (AUT). The Slovenian followed it up with a mammoth 141m in his second jump to put victory beyond doubt. It’s his second win in Sapporo, following victory in 2024 and he hinted there’s still more to come.

“I think I can put more energy in the jumps, I feel really amazing,” Prevc said.

“I feel really good, I feel the power in my legs. In Zakopane it wasn’t my day and to be honest it would be strange if I just won all the time. These things happens and it wasn’t that my head was tired, in Zakopane it’s just not my hill.”
