The record was surpassed by Anders Fannemel the following day. On 20 March 2015 in Planica, Prevc became one of the few ski jumpers to achieve a "perfect jump", with all five judges giving him top style marks.

He comes from a big family and is the oldest of five children – he has two younger brothers, Domen and Cene Prevc, who are also ski jumpers, and two younger sisters. He attended the first half of elementary school education in Selca and the second half in Železniki. He continued his education at economy gymnasium in Kranj where he got his high school diploma.

Together with his friends, Prevc started ski jumping when he was nine years old. He took his first jumps with regular skis at K-25 hill, known as "Bregarca", still standing near his home in Dolenja Vas. When he was ten, his father signed him up to "SK Triglav Kranj" ski jumping club.
