Controversies

During the jumps of Group 4 in Round 1, an incident involving the skis of Domen Prevc occurred. While preparing for a pre-jump equipment control, Prevc leaned his skis on the control booth. ^[3] The skis later fell down the in-run, hitting on their way the legs of Marius Lindvik, who was sitting on the starting bar at the moment. ^[4] An extra set of skis was soon provided by the founder of Slatnar  [ sl ] ski manufacturer Peter Slatnar, ^[5] but Prevc was denied his attempt by an FIS official Hubert Mathis, on account of being too late to the start, ^[6] as the delay was deemed to be the athlete's fault. ^[7]

The rules require a competition staff to hold the skis during the control, but according to the Slovenian TV expert Jelko Gros  [ sl ], no such person was present at that moment. ^[3] Furthermore, it is unclear whether the skis fell on their own, or whether the fall could have been caused by the competition staff member. ^{[6] [8]} However, the claim of staff missing was denied by the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup race director Sandro Pertile, who said that the case will be further investigated. ^[9]

After the end of Round 1, the Slovenian team manager Gorazd Pogorelčnik  [ sl ] filed an official protest to the jury, which was quickly rejected ^[6] by a jury voting with a result of 1:3. ^[8] The jury requested video footage of the incident, but weren't provided one. ^[8] Team Slovenia then decided to withdraw from Round 2, but after consideration that decision was reverted. ^[6] This could have been a misunderstanding on whether Prevc was considered disqualified or did not start. ^[10]

Next day, the Slovenian Ski Federation  [ sl ] announced that they will file an official appeal concerning the incident to the FIS on the following day (27 January 2026). ^[11] The appeal has been later dismissed by the FIS. ^[12]
