Slovenia took the victory in today's team event in Zakopane, ahead of Germany and Austria! Second time in a row the best at Wielka Krokiew hill were Slovenians. It was really exciting competition! Until the end ski jumpers fought for as good as possible positions. As always in Zakopane the atmosphere was just amazing! A lot of fans in the stands and everywhere white and red flags. Everyone who could be and participate in this event had great luck. In team Slovenia the strongest was Peter Prevc who jumped at 132,0m and 131,5m. Also awesome were Jernej Damjan (134,0m and 134,5m) and Robert Kranjec (131,5m and 127,5m). Almost 10 points behind them at the second place were Germans - Andreas Wellinger, Richard Freitag, Severin Freund and Andreas Wank. The youngest Wellinger jumped really well (130,0m 129,0m) and scored the most points for his team! At the lower step of the podium were Austrians - Gregor Schlierenzauer, Michael Hayboeck, Thomas Diethart and Manuel Poppinger. The leader of the team did not disappoint. He took two great jumps (128,5m and 132.5m) and this with the good jumps of the rest allowed them to take place on the podium. Team Poland (Kamil Stoch, Jan Ziobro, Klemens Murańka, Dawid Kubacki) were really close to the 3rd place at his domestic hill. They've lost only 6,3 points to the Germans. The best from them was Dawid Kubacki who took two amazing jumps at 131,0m and 132,5m (individual he won the whole competition)! 5th place belonged to Norway (Anders Bardal, Anders Fannemel, Daniel-Andre Tande, Rune Velta), 6th to Czech Republic (Jan Matura, Roman Koudelka, Antonin Hajek, Lukas Hlava), 7th to Finland (Anssi Koivuranta, Lauri Asikainen, Olli Muotka, Janne Happonen) and 8th were Italy (Davide Bresadola, Roberto Dellasega, Sebastian Colloredo, Andrea Morassi).
