The reigning champions led from start to finish in front of a Slovenian-dominated audience. Vodan, who was the only team member remaining from their Beijing 2022 triumph, set the tone by winning the opening group with a jump of 100m for 121.5pts. From there, Slovenia never looked like relinquishing their lead.
In the final round, Lanisek finally found his form to land 101m for 142pts to put Slovenia within touching distance of gold. The Prevc siblings then both topped their groups with jumps of 98.5m (Nika) and 102m (Domen) to start the celebrations.
