Men’s Super Team to crown last Milano Cortina 2026 Ski Jumping medalists

Historic firsts, emotional triumphs and a whole host of surprises: The Ski Jumping at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics has had it all. But there’s still time for some final twists and turns as the last medals of this Games are awarded in the first Men’s Super Team event.

A change to the  Men’s Team event from previous editions, this year’s competition features just two athletes from each nation jumping three rounds on Predazzo’s Large Hill. And based on the drama of Saturday’s Men’s Individual race, picking favorites for the podium is anything but straightforward.

Slovenia currently top the medals table in Ski Jumping and won the Mixed Team event on the Normal Hill last week. In addition, Domen Prevc is the newly-crowned individual Olympic Champion on the Large Hill. But teammate Anze Lanisek has so far struggled for consistency, finishing 26th and 30th in the individual events despite his Mixed Team gold. Lanisek has been chosen ahead of Beijing 2022 Team silver medalist Timi Zajc.

The Men’s Team champions from Beijing 2022, Austria, are yet to win a Ski Jumping medal at Milano Cortina 2026 after finishing fifth in the Mixed Team event. Jan Hoerl leads the Super Team as the best-performing Austrian, having finished fifth on the Large Hill. Stephan Embacher has been selected to partner him ahead of three-time World Champion Stefan Kraft after his two seventh places in the individual races.

Beijing 2022 bronze medalists Germany have also had an unpredictable Games so far. Philipp Raimund celebrated the biggest victory of his career with individual gold on the Normal Hill but finished outside the medals on the Large Hill in ninth. The Mixed Team fell just short of the podium, Raimund and Felix Hoffmann finishing fourth, just 1.2pts behind bronze medalists Japan. In the men’s individual competitions, Raimund is the only athlete to finish in the top 10. But four-time Olympic medalist Andreas Wellinger has started to find his form on the Large Hill and was the next best-placed German in 15th.

Ren Nikaido leads Japan’s challenge after a standout performance in Predazzo. He’s medaled in every event so far, with silver on the Large Hill, bronze on the Normal Hill and in the Mixed Team competition. He’s partnered by double Beijing 2022 medalist Ryoyu Kobayashi, who finished sixth on the Large Hill and is always capable of jumping a spectacular distance on his day.

Norway have already collected silver in the Mixed Team competition and will be hoping to go one better in the Men’s Super Team. Kristoffer Eriksen Sundal was part of the Mixed Team and has been their best performer on the Large Hill, just missing the individual podium in fourth. He’s joined by Johann Andre Forfang, who was preferred to Marius Lindvik after finishing 12th on the Large Hill.

Poland will also be in the fight for medals thanks to the breakthrough performance of these Winter Olympics. Kacper Tomasiak is a double Milano Cortina 2026 medalist in his first full season on the circuit, winning silver on the Normal Hill and bronze on the Large Hill. Jumping with him will be Pawel Wasek following his 14th place in the individual event. It means no final medal chance for six-time Olympian Kamil Stoch, who is retiring after these Games.   

The Men's Super Team gets underway with the trial round at 18:00 CET, with the first competition run an hour later at 19:00 CET
