The 2024–25 FIS Ski Jumping World Cup was the 46th World Cup season for men, the 28th season in ski flying, and the 14th season for women as the highest level of international ski jumping competitions, organized by the International Ski Federation (FIS).[1][2][3]
The men's (29 events) and women's (24 events) season both started on 22 November 2024 in Lillehammer, Norway. The men's season concluded on 30 March 2025 in Planica, Slovenia, while the women's season ended on 21 March 2025 in Lahti, Finland.[4][5][6]
For the peak of the season, they took a break in February and March for the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Trondheim, Norway, which ended with one of the biggest scandals in the ski jumping sport history, with inappropriate Norwegian suits and disqualifications.
Austrian champion Stefan Kraft and Nika Prevc from Slovenia (with record 15 ins) were the reigning champions from the previous season. Kraft did not defend his title, finishing the season as 3rd.
Daniel Tschofenig from Austria claimed the Crystal Globe and the 4H Tournament for the first time, while Prevc successfully defended her title, securing her second World Cup title in a row.
The provisional calendar of events was introduced in October 2023.[7] In April 2024, the subcommittee for calendar planning in Prague published the proposed schedule for the 2024–25 World Cup season.[8] The competition programs were officially approved during a meeting in Portorož on 8 May.[9]
On 7 June 2024, it was announced that the World Cup competitions scheduled for 11–12 January 2025 at the modernized olympic hill Trampolino Dal Ben (HS143) in Predazzo would not take place. Organizers decided to cancel the pre-Olympic trials six months in advance due to all delays in facility reconstruction. The test event is now expected to be rescheduled during the Summer Grand Prix.[10] Meanwhile, the final rehearsal for the 2026 Ski Flying World Championship in Oberstdorf was set for late January.
The 2024–25 season has already seen several historic moments. After his victory in Lillehammer, Pius Paschke became the oldest leader in World Cup history at 34 years and 187 days.[11] Tschofenig made history as the first ski jumper born in the 21st century to win a World Cup competition.[12]
During the qualification for the first competition of the Four Hills Tournament in Oberstdorf, Austrian ski jumpers took the top five spots. This was the first time in the history of the World Cup that such a situation occurred. Having four athletes in the top five of the qualifications had happened a few times before, but never had even the top four spots been taken by a one team.
For the first time in history, siblings Domen Prevc and Nika Prevc both secured World Cup victories on the same weekend — Domen triumphing in Ski Flying in Oberstdorf, while Nika claimed victory in Zaō. Nika further cemented her place in the record books by becoming the first female ski jumper to win World Cup events on three different continents (Europe, Asia, and North America) after her triumph in Lake Placid.
Meanwhile, ski jumping legend Noriaki Kasai extended his own records. On 16 February 2025, during the individual competition in Sapporo, the 52-year-old became the oldest competitor in a World Cup event at 52 years, 8 months, and 10 days. It also marked his 579th World Cup appearance, further solidifying his place in the sport’s history.
A scandal involving equipment tampering by the Norwegian ski jumping team erupted during the World Ski Championships in Trondheim. Ahead of the Raw Air tournament, FIS provisionally suspended three Norwegian team officials and two athletes as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged rule violations during the Men’s Large Hill competition at the Trondheim 2025 Championships. Following an initial review, head coach Magnus Brevik, assistant coach Thomas Lobben, service staff member Adrian Livelten, and athletes Marius Lindvik and Johann André Forfang have been formally placed under investigation. Effective immediately, they are banned from participating in all FIS events and competitions organized by any National Ski Association until the inquiry and adjudication process is complete.[13]
On 14 March 2025, the day before her 20th birthday, Nika Prevc set a new women's ski flying world record, twice reaching a distance of 236 meters (774 ft) during official training 1 and 3 at the Vikersundbakken hill in Vikersund, Norway. Prevc broke the previous record held by Norwegian ski jumper Silje Opseth, who had set the mark at 230.5 meters on the same hill in March 2024.[14]
At the final competition of the season on 21 March, Nika Prevc achieved her 10th consecutive World Cup victory and her 15th win of the season. With this accomplishment, the Slovenian equaled Sara Takanashi's record results from the 2013–2014 and 2015–2016 seasons, respectively. Prevc's winning margin over the second-place finisher Selina Freitag was 51.4 points — the largest in the history of the Ski Jumping World Cup, regardless of gender. The previous overall record was a 47.5-point lead by Andreas Felder over Ole Gunnar Fidjestøl in Planica on 14 March 1987, while the women’s record stood at 41.7 points, set by Marita Kramer over Chiara Kreuzer in Nizhny Tagil on 26 November 2021. Additionally, Prevc equaled Maren Lundby's record of 19 women's World Cup podium finishes in a single season, a milestone Lundby achieved in the 2018–2019 season.[15][16]
On 30 March 2025, during the final competition of the season in Planica, Domen Prevc set a new ski flying distance record of 254.5 meters (835 ft), surpassing by 1 meter the previous record set by Stefan Kraft at Vikersundbakken on 18 March 2017. This marks the first time in over eight years that the record has been broken, after 14 years again world record (29th set there) returned to Planica.[17]
