Germany claimed mixed team ski jumping gold in Seefeld as Katharina Althaus and Karl Geiger helped deliver on their promise as favourites.
Markus Eisenbichler and Juliane Seyfarth completed the line-up at the Nordic World Ski Championships in Austria, with Althaus leading out with a 107.5 metre jump.
Germany briefly fell behind Austria but Geiger then helped reclaim the lead, with second jumps from Eisenbichler and Seyfarth then opening up a 15.6 point gap on the Austrians.
Geiger then leaped 107m with his final jump to see off Austria's challenge, with Norway finishing third to claim bronze.
