Medals update: Austria wins men’s team gold in Beijing 2022 ski jumping competition

Austria clinched a narrow victory in a nail-biting final round of ski jumping action to win the men’s team event at the Zhangjiakou National Ski Jumping Centre on Monday (14 February).

The Austrian quartet of Stefan Kraft, Daniel Huber, Jan Hoerl and Manuel Fettner fought their way from second place after the first round of jumping to clinch the gold medal.
