Austria had not lost a World Championship team ski jumping event since 2003 and they weren’t about to stop that streak at Oslo.
Though Norway gave strong chase, the Austrians, anchored by Thomas Morgenstern, came away 1025.5-1000.5 winners.
Germany got the bronze, but not without giving fans a reason for pause as its final jumper Severin Freund fell after landing a strong jump.
Morgenstern teamed with Gregor Schlierenzauer, Martin Koch and Andreas Kofler for the win.

In memoriam: The veteran of the staff, McKee started with Ski Racing in 1980. Over the seasons, he covered virtually every aspect of the sport, from the pro tours to junior racing, freestyle and World Cup alpine competition. He wrote the first national stories for many U.S. team stars, and was still around to report on their retirements. “Longevity has its rewards,” he said, “but it’s a slow process.”
