Slovenian ski jumper who won two Olympic medals and set multiple world records in the 1960s and 1970s. Known for his innovative technique and dominance in the sport during his era.
Cene Prevc is a retired Slovenian ski jumper who made a name for himself in the competitive skiing world, following in the footsteps of his talented family members. At just 17 years old, he won the individual event at the 2013 European Youth Olympic Winter Festival, cementing his place in the skiing community.
In the 2013-2014 season, Prevc made his World Cup debut in Planica, marking the beginning of his promising career in professional skiing. Born into a family of skiers, Prevc's brothers, Peter and Domen, and sister, Nika, are all accomplished FIS Ski Jumping World Cup jumpers. His father, Boidar, is an international ski jumping referee, making skiing a true family affair.
The Prevc family's involvement in skiing is more than just a coincidence. With multiple family members competing at the highest level, they have become a household name in the skiing community. Cene's brother, Peter, won the same individual event at the EYOF in 2009, setting a precedent for his younger brother to follow.
Despite his promising start, Prevc decided to retire from professional skiing in 2022, at the age of 26, to focus on his studies. This decision marked the end of his competitive skiing career, leaving behind a legacy of impressive performances and a family name synonymous with skiing excellence.
Cene Prevc was born on March 12, 1996, in Kranj, Slovenia, to Boidar and Julijana Prevc. The family of six, including his two brothers and two sisters, reside in the village of Dolenja Vas. His father's furniture business has been a constant presence in the background, providing stability and support for the family's athletic pursuits.
Throughout his career, Prevc made multiple individual starts in the World Cup, earning a reputation as a talented and skilled ski jumper. His achievements in the competitive skiing world have solidified his place as one of the most promising Slovenian skiers of his generation.
