Nika Prevc achieved something that no Slovenian athlete had done in nearly a century. It has been 98 years since Leon Štukelj, the only Slovenian to date to win three medals at a single Olympic Games, and with her bronze on the large hill Nika completed her own Olympic medal collection by earning her third medal at Milano Cortina 2026.Photo: Aleš Fevžer/OKS
