Domen Prevc thanked his parents after he and sister Nika helped Slovenia win Olympic mixed team ski jumping gold in the latest big success for the soaring family.

Along with Swedish siblings Rasmus and Isabella Wranå, who won curling mixed doubles gold an hour earlier on Tuesday, the Prevcs are believed to be the first brother and sister to take gold in the same Olympic event as a team.

“It means a lot, first of all because a brother and sister winning a medal together in an individual sport is something special and will go down in history. The feeling is amazing, it’s awesome, I had some goosebumps," Domen Prevc said.

Nika added: “Since I was a kid, I dreamed about a moment of winning an Olympic medal, but I never thought about winning it with my brother and this is much more special, one of the best moments in my life.”

Nika and Domen Prevc join older siblings Peter and Cene who won five Olympic medals in the sport in 2014 and 2022.

No wonder Domen Prevc found kind words for their parents, saying: "“For me this is the greatest thing I can give back to my parents.

"They put so much time and effort into giving us the privilege of being able to do this sport. I am super happy we can bring them a lot of joy and satisfaction," he said.

"They never really put pressure on us. They are always behind us regardless of how we fare. They always urge us on."

Nika and Domen Prevc have ruled the women's and men's World Cups this season and now hope that the team gold boosts them for the large hill events on Saturday and Sunday after Nika had to settle for silver and Domen only managed sixth on the normal hill.

"It’s really promising for me now what happens on the bigger hill. My focus is on how I perform on that,” Domen Prevc said.
