The Swiss ski jumpers take their almost usual 7th place in the team competition on the flying hill in Planica.
More is usually not possible. However, the quartet of Sandro Hauswirth, Killian Peier, Yanick Wasser and Gregor Deschwanden won the battle against the Americans, who have become stronger this season.
The day's victory went to the superior Austrians in nasty conditions in the pouring rain. Germany, with final jumper Markus Eisenbichler, who thus ended his career, came second. The ski jumping season comes to an end on Sunday with the last World Cup on the record-breaking hill in Planica.
