February 2015 saw an improvement of the world record in ski jumping distance, the previous record of Johan Remen Evensen (246.5 m, set in Vikersund) stood since February 2011. On 14 February, Peter Prevc set the new mark with 250 m (820 ft) in Vikersund, Norway. His achievement was beaten the next day by Anders Fannemel from Norway with 251.5 m (825 ft), which is the current record. Earlier that day, Dimitry Vassiliev from Russia fell at longest ever 254 m (833 ft) jump in qualifying round, but since a proper landing is required for the jump to be valid, his jump does not count as a record.
