Slovenia: FIS World Cup Final in Ski Jumping Planica 2016

Our eagle, Peter Prevc, was awesome in ski-jumping this season and we decided to see him in Planica. Since tickets were sold out, our viewing point was on the slopes of nearby hill, Ciprnik. We could hear and see almost everything from there, so it was a great choice.

Our guys were perfect and we won again. Peter flew 238 and 241.5 meters, while Robi had distances of 234 and 233 meters.

Out of beer ... no worries, the army is here to the rescue
