World Cup leader Domen Prevc clinches stunning victory in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, positioning himself in historic company with just two events remaining.

In a breathtaking display of aerial prowess, Slovenian ski jumper Domen Prevc has once again demonstrated why he's considered one of the sport's most electrifying athletes, claiming his second triumph at the prestigious Four Hills Tournament.

Competing in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany on Thursday, Prevc launched himself to remarkable heights, recording impressive jumps of 143 and 141 meters that totaled 303.1 points and left his competitors trailing in his wake.

Austrian athletes Jan Hörl and Stephan Embacher rounded out the podium, with Hörl finishing 15.4 points behind Prevc in second place and Embacher securing third. Notably, Embacher had previously broken the hill record during Wednesday's qualification round with an extraordinary 145.5-meter jump.

Prevc now stands on the cusp of ski jumping history. He has a genuine opportunity to become only the fourth athlete ever to win all four tournament events - a feat accomplished previously by legends Sven Hannawald, Kamil Stoch, and Ryoyu Kobayashi.

In a candid post-competition interview, Prevc attributed his success to strategic preparation, revealing he skipped New Year's Eve celebrations to ensure optimal rest. 'I just went to sleep at eleven o'clock,' he shared. 'I didn't even hear the fireworks, which I think gave me an advantage today.'

The tournament's narrative was not without drama, as Prevc's teammate Timi Zajc was disqualified for the second consecutive time due to a suit irregularity - a four-millimeter deviation that resulted in a red card before his first jump.

With the next event scheduled in Innsbruck, Austria on Sunday, ski jumping fans worldwide are eagerly anticipating whether Prevc can maintain his remarkable momentum and etch his name into the sport's illustrious record books.
