OBERSTDORF, Germany, ‌Dec 29 : Domen Prevc underlined his Olympic credentials as he dominated the opening leg of the Four Hills Tournament in Oberstdorf, Germany on Monday.

Slovenia's Prevc led after the first round with a jump of 141.5 metres. He went 1.5 metres shorter in ‌the final round, but Austria's Daniel Tschofenig ‌was unable to close the gap and had to settle for second place. Germany's Felix Hoffmann completed the podium in third.

Prevc became the first Slovenian male ski jumper to claim victory in the hills of Oberstdorf with ‍a 17.5-point win over Tschofenig.

"I finally managed to break the curse for Slovenian men here," Prevc said. "I heard this is the first win for a Slovenian guy in Oberstdorf. I am super happy I ‌managed to do two good jumps."
