For the sixth time in his career, Rok Tarman was the first to descend the Letalnica bratov Gorišek ski flying hill, setting a record for the opening flight under the Ponce mountains with a distance of 224 meters. Young Jaka Drinovec from NSK Tržič FMG flew eight meters farther.

Today, 29 ski jumpers tested the Planica Letalnica bratov Gorišek. The experienced Rok Tarman, a member of the home club ND Rateče Planica, was the first to fly, reaching 224 meters.
“The hill is in excellent condition. The landing area is great—you really land without any problems. The inrun track is also perfect. The workers have done a fantastic job; a great weekend awaits us,” said Tarman after his first flight of the year on the hill.

In the first round, Jaka Drinovec delivered the flight of the day with bib number five, reaching 232 meters. His club teammate from NSK Tržič FMG, Ožbe Zupan, also impressed with 224 meters. Tadej Benedik flew 219 meters, Jernej Presečnik 216 meters, and Nik Gostiša Lah 212 meters. At the end of the round, Austrian Clemens Vinatzer reached 228 meters.

Unfortunately, Nik Heberle suffered a heavy fall. However, he was conscious while being transported to the Jesenice hospital after receiving initial treatment in the outrun area. Initial examinations did not indicate any serious injuries.

In the second round, Matija Vidic recorded the longest jump at 226 meters, but after 12 flights the round was canceled due to strong winds.
