Will Stroem star and Prevc ‘Domenate’ at Oslo World Cup?

With the world of ski jumping still basking in the glory from spectacular showcase of the sport at the Olympic Winter Games fans in Oslo (NOR) will have the opportunity to see the stars of Milano Cortina 2026 edge closer to the completion of an outstanding season.

While Slovenian siblings Nika Prevc and Domen Prevc have already secured the respective women’s and men’s Crystal Globe titles, awarded to the Overall World Cup winners, there are still plenty of ‘bragging rights’ to be attained.

The athletes will leap from the Holmenkollen hill across three days of competition, 13-15 March.

Norway’s double Olympic champion Anna Odine Stroem among the major names in action, along with her fellow Milano Cortina 2026 national team-mates – and podium finishers – Eirin Kvandal, Marius Lindvik, Kristoffer Sundal and Johann Forfang.

“I feel like the same person who went to Italy,” states Stroem. “Things have changed a bit though, because a lot more people recognize me and want to take pictures with me!

“Of course, it's nice that people recognize me and celebrate these medals with me, but I'd still like to maintain my privacy.

Stroem continues; “I know there will be some celebrations after the season, but for now I'm putting everything aside because the season isn't over yet and we still have work to do.”

Prevc and 2025/26 World Cup breakthrough star Nozomi Maruyama (JPN) have already secured first and second in the overall rankings, but the fight for third is still open.

Stroem trails Lisa Eder (AUT) by just 27 points after securing three successive second-place finished propelled the Norwegian up the standings.

Interestingly, at the World Cup in Lahti (FIN) last week the two women’s events saw Prevc, Stroem and Maruyama attained the same positions in each contest. 

Were that to happen again in the maiden Oslo event, it would be the first time in the history of the sport that the same three World Cup podium positions have been repeated three times in-a-row.

One moment of history which should be made in Oslo is the all-time record number of points attained in a World Cup season.

Last year’s Oslo World Cup winner Nika Prevc has currently accumulated 2,296 during the 2025/26 campaign, meaning she is just nine points shot of the landmark figure set by her brother Peter Prevc (2,303pts) during the 2015/16 season.

As another interesting side note, Anna Odine Stroem’s younger brother, Joergen Oliver Stroem, will make his World Cup debut in Oslo.

All conquering Olympic champion, Crystal Globe winner, World Championships Ski Flying and Ski Jumping gold medalist as well as Four Hills conqueror Domen Prevc (SLO) will likely begin as the favorite on the men’s side, as he seeks a 14^th World Cup win of the season.

The man, who has been dubbed the ‘Domenator’, did place second though in the second men’s World Cup contest in Lahti, behind the rapidly improving Daniel Tschofenig (AUT) who looks to finally be rediscovering the kind of form which saw him claim last season’s Crystal Globe and Four Hills titles.

Tschofenig’s win last weekend was the 300^th individual victory attained by an Austrian man on the World Cup circuit, but there team will be lacking one of their star names in Norway, with Olympic champion Jan Hoerl (AUT) deciding to end his season early.

“This season has been a rollercoaster so far, but it feels amazing to be back on the podium and we still have some weeks left in the season,” says Tschofenig.

He and Tschofenig combined to claim the Super Team title on the final day of competition in Lahti and that would prove to be his final contest of the campaign.

“I've been struggling with back problems for a while now, so my priority now will be to take care of my long-term health and heal through therapy,” Hoerl wrote on social media.

“Considering these circumstances, I'm very happy with my season, even if not everything went perfectly. I'm especially proud that despite this, I was still able to perform at a high level and win medals at major events.”

In Hoerl’s absence, Olympic Normal Hill gold medalist Philipp Raimund (GER), who claimed the first individual World Cup crown of his career in Lahti’s first men’s event last week, and and home nation favorite Forfang are heavily backed for success.

"Oslo is a classic on the World Cup calendar, and I'm looking forward to it,” said Raimund.

“The hill isn't exactly easy, the inrun, in particular, is demanding. Nevertheless, I performed well on the hill last year (placing fifth) and that's why I'm highly motivated to jump there again.”

Kacper Tomasiak (POL) who claimed three shock medals at Milano Cortina 2026, won silver at the FIS Junior World Ski Championships in Lillehammer (NOR) last week, before flying immediately to Lahti (FIN) where he placed 10^th and seventh in the senior World Cups.

The 19-year-old admitted afterwards that he some “physical rest” after feeling a “bit off” following his excisions over recent months, but believes he can land a first individual World Cup honor in Oslo.
