Men’s super team large hill: Austria pulls it together
After uncharacteristically missing the podium in every ski jumping event up until the men’s super team large hill, it was uncertain if Austria would leave Predazzo with any medals. But in the final ski jumping event at Milan Cortina 2026, Austrians Jan Hoerl and Stephan Embacher found their form and won gold.
Most athletes struggled to gain enough speed on the in-run due to heavy snowfall during the second and third rounds. Three athletes were yet to jump in the suspenseful final round when the judges ruled to cancel the round due to the harsh weather conditions. The medals were rewarded based on the results from the second round.
Poland’s Tomasiak and Pawel Wasek slotted into 2nd, a relief for the team that may have ended off of the podium if medals were awarded after the third round. Tomasiak was the final athlete to jump before the final round’s results were cancelled. He was slow on the in-run due to the dumping snowfall and jumped too early, flying 124.5 meters and earning only 104.3 points. The grueling conditions prompted the judges and jury to cancel the round after Tomasiak’s jump.
Norway’s Sundal and Johann Andre Forfang narrowly hung on to bronze with a 0.3-point lead over Germany’s Raimund and Andreas Wellinger.
