Norway win ski jumping world cup team event in Planica

The winning team of Daniel Andre Tande, Andreas Stjernen, Robert Johansson and Planica 7 leader Johann Andre Forfang scored 1,620.2 points, with Germany (1,482.98 points) in second, while hosts Slovenia (1,474.5 points) were third.

Norway have been the dominant force in ski jumping this year and this World Cup win goes alongside their team golds at the Ski Flying World Championships in January and last month’s Winter Olympics in PyeongChang.

Poland’s Kamil Stoch landed the longest jump of the competition – 248.5m – three metres short of the record he set at the same venue last year. But the Polish side just missed out on top three finish as they fell four points behind Slovenia – having been second after round three.

The ski jumping World Cup season concludes on Sunday with the second individual event at Planica.
