Austria only needed two jumps on Monday night after all to claim a gold medal in Predazzo, Italy.
The Austrians claimed the men’s super team large hill ski jump on Monday after the event was canceled early due to a large snowstorm that worked its way into the area. Conditions on the course got very bad out of nowhere during the third round of the competition, and officials ended up wiping the round altogether — as several teams had yet to make their third and final jumps.

So, since Austria was in the lead after the second round, they took the gold medal.
The Austrian duo of Jan Hoerl and Stephan Embacher finished with 558.7 points to win the event, just more than 20 points ahead of Poland. Norway then finished in third, less than half of a point ahead of Germany.
The American pair of Kevin Bickner and Tate Frantz ended up in eighth with a score of 520.2.
