After Bor Pavlovčič tested the Planica ski flying hill last year, Rok Tarman completed this task for the fifth time in his life. The 26-year-old came close to his personal record with a jump of 215 meters, landing at 212 meters, one of the six jumps exceeding 200 meters today. The longest flight at 221 meters was accomplished by the experienced Ernest Prišlič. Other jumps over the two-hundred-meter mark were made by Gorazd Završnik with 203 meters, Marcel Stržinar with 201 meters, Jernej Presečnik with 218.5 meters, and Austrian skier Peter Resinger with 202 meters.
After his first ski flying jump in Planica in 2024, Rok Tarman said: "Good feelings. I expected it to be different, harder, but it was great. Unfortunately, it didn't go up to my personal record. I wished for a bit more, but it didn't happen." Prišlič, who had the longest jump today, was also enthusiastic about the new flight on the Planica hill: "The ski flying hill is prepared excellently. The new track couldn't be better. The lower part of the hill is soft, which is normal because of the sunny weather, but the Planica workers have once again shown their expertise. There weren't any extreme distances, but we are here to sharpen the track."
