Austria Wins Gold in 1st Olympic Men's Super Team Ski Jump as Event Is Shortened Due to Weather
Heavy snow forced early end to the event, with Austria winning gold in the new two-jumper super team format at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
- On Monday in Predazzo, Austria captured gold in the men's super team event, marking the Olympic debut of the two-jumper super team format.
- Heavy snow and shifting winds repeatedly delayed attempts to clear the hill during the third round, so competition officials abandoned it with three of eight competitors left and declared the second-round standings final.
- Each nation fielded two-jumper teams with two jumps per athlete, as seventeen nations started, the top 12 reached the second round and the best eight moved on to the final qualifiers.
- Meanwhile, Poland took silver and Norway claimed bronze, with the U.S. team finishing eighth; rookie Kacper Tomasiak added to his medal haul from earlier events.
- Following the scandal, team leaders were recently banned for 18 months, and suit modifications included added stitching, though Forfang and Lindvik were suspended last year for suit tampering.
