Today's event in Vikersund was the last before the World Cup season finale in Slovenia's Planica next week, which will see three competitions Friday through Sunday.

"It is important that I enjoyed myself, that two days of long jumps are behind me. All thoughts are now focused on Planica, where I hope the fans will turn out in the biggest possible number," said Peter Prevc.

His brother Domen, who set his personal best three times today, the last time at 243.5 m said that he was ready for Planica. "We are coming home peaceful and satisfied", he added.
