SUMMARY:Men's Ski Jumping Large Hill Final 2026
DESCRIPTION:Slovenia’s Domen Prevc soared to gold in the men’s individual large hill ski jumping at the 2026 Winter Olympics\, producing two powerful jumps at the Predazzo Ski Jumping Stadium on Saturday 14 February 2026. Prevc totalled 301.8 points to finish clear of Japan’s Ren Nikaidō (295.0) and Poland’s Kacper Tomasiak (291.2)\, claiming his first individual Olympic title after years in the shadow of his older brothers. \nWhat is the Men’s Large Hill event?\nThe individual large hill is the blue-riband event of Olympic ski jumping. It is contested on a hill with a construction point around 125 metres and a hill size of roughly 140 metres (HS140)\, meaning jumps routinely exceed 140 metres when conditions allow. Each athlete takes two jumps from the competition gate\, with scores for distance and style combined into a single total. Compensation factors adjust for changes in wind and gate position between jumpers. \nThe large hill is longer\, faster and more spectacular than the normal hill\, and Olympic large hill gold is the single most prized individual honour in the sport. \nWhen did the event take place?\nThe final was held on the evening of Saturday 14 February 2026 under floodlights. Qualification took place earlier in the day\, with the two-round final starting around 19:00 local time (CET). Cold\, dry conditions and a light headwind produced long\, stable flights throughout the field. \nWhere was it held?\nAll ski jumping events at Milano Cortina 2026 were held at the Predazzo Ski Jumping Stadium in Val di Fiemme\, northern Italy. The venue’s HS140 large hill\, alongside the HS106 normal hill\, was modernised and re-profiled for the Games. Predazzo hosts FIS World Cup events each winter and staged the 2013 Nordic World Ski Championships. \nResults\nPrevc led after round one with a jump of more than 140 metres and sealed gold with another huge effort in the final round for a total of 301.8. Ren Nikaidō\, who had shared bronze in the normal hill five days earlier\, produced one of the finest Olympic campaigns by a Japanese jumper in years to take silver on 295.0. Tomasiak added large hill bronze (291.2) to his normal hill silver\, cementing his place as Poland’s next ski jumping star. Austria’s Stefan Kraft was fourth\, with normal hill champion Philipp Raimund of Germany fifth. \nBackground and form going in\nDomen Prevc had entered the Games as the overall FIS World Cup leader after a dominant winter. The youngest of the three Prevc brothers\, he had won a team silver in Beijing but had never taken an individual Olympic medal. Kraft and Raimund were seen as the main threats\, while Nikaidō’s second podium of the Games was a reward for consistency over two weeks of competition. \nHistory and records\nPrevc became the first Slovenian man to win the Olympic large hill gold\, continuing a remarkable family legacy: his brother Peter won team gold and brother Cene also represented Slovenia at Olympic level. Nikaidō’s two individual medals made him the first Japanese jumper since Noriaki Kasai to reach multiple individual ski jumping podiums at a single Games. Tomasiak’s pair of medals marked Poland’s best individual return since Kamil Stoch. \nFrequently Asked Questions\nWho won gold in the Men’s Large Hill at the 2026 Winter Olympics?\nDomen Prevc of Slovenia won gold with 301.8 points. \nWho won silver and bronze?\nRen Nikaidō of Japan took silver and Kacper Tomasiak of Poland won bronze. \nWhere was it held?\nAt the Predazzo Ski Jumping Stadium in Val di Fiemme\, Italy. \nHad Domen Prevc won an Olympic medal before?\nYes. He was part of Slovenia’s team silver at Beijing 2022\, but the large hill in Milano Cortina was his first individual Olympic title.
