(Reuters) - Slovenia's 19-year-old Nika Prevc gave herself an early birthday present when she broke the women's ski jumping world record with a mark of 236 metres on Friday, a day after she retained her World Cup overall title.
Having secured a second Crystal Globe in Oslo, Prevc broke the record in Vikersund, Norway, recording the mark not once but twice -- in the first and third training round of the competition.
