WATCH LIVE | The second mixed team Olympic champion will be determined at the Predazzo ski jump
The Olympic mixed team ski jumping competition will take place at the Predazzo ski jump during the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, with live commentary starting at 19:40.
The mixed team ski jumping event at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics continues on Tuesday, marking the determination of the second Olympic champions in this category. The event will be broadcast live by ERR, with commentators Kristjan Kalkun and Kaarel Nurmsalu, alongside reporter Johannes Vedru, conducting the coverage starting at 19:40. This year, the mixed team event is featured for the second time in the Olympics after a chaotic debut in Beijing, where athletes from Germany, Japan, Austria, and Norway were disqualified due to inappropriate uniforms. Slovenia won the first Olympic gold in the event, followed by teams from the Russian Olympic Committee and Canada.
Slovenia aims to secure its second consecutive Olympic victory, although this time they will feature a new lineup consisting of Nika Vodan, AnΕΎe LaniΕ‘ek, and the Prevc siblings, Nika and Domen. The Slovenian team did win one mixed team competition in the World Cup series this year, while Japan, competing with Nozomi Maruyama, Ryoyu Kobayashi, and Sara Takanashi, won the other. This upcoming competition promises to be competitive as teams strive for Olympic glory amid high expectations and previous experiences.
