Overview
- The Olympic Super Team event in Predazzo was abandoned during the third round after heavy, wet snow and shifting wind, with only the first two rounds counted.
- Germany placed fourth, missing the podium by 0.3 points, after Philipp Raimund’s late jump was nullified when the final round was annulled.
- DSV sport director Horst Hüttel denounced the handling as unfair and poor event management, while ARD’s Sven Hannawald and Tom Bartels said they learned of the cancellation late on air.
- Race director Sandro Pertile defended the stoppage as necessary because the track lost speed and wind conditions changed, even though the snowfall eased shortly afterward.
- Beyond ski jumping, the DSV moved Franziska Preuß to second leg and named Vanessa Voigt as anchor for Wednesday’s women’s biathlon relay, Germany’s hockey team faces France in a quarterfinal-qualification game, and Hase/Volodin won pairs figure-skating bronze.
