Un-bloody-believable.

No words could do this justice. You really need to just watch this incredible video. There's a scene in the movie Gladiator when some of the slaves see the Colosseum for the first time and Juba says with an open jaw, "I never knew men could build such things." Well, we never knew men could do such things either. Peter Prevc broke the Ski-Flying world record tonight with a jump that has us disbelieving his status as a human. The Slovenian was competing in Vikersund in Norway when he scaled all of 250m to break Johan Remen Evensen previous record which stood for four years at 246.5m. At a stage, it just looks like Prevc is flying through the air in this truly remarkable jump. This could be the best thing you'll watch for a long, long time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-Xl1SIdIGI
