PLANICA, Slovenia (AP) — Jurij Tepes helped host Slovenia win a team ski flying event Saturday at the final ski jump World Cup meet of the season.

Tepes had his team’s longest jump of the day with 223 meters in the first round as Slovenia finished with 1,561.8 points, beating Norway by 10.7 points. Norway’s Anders Bardal had the longest jump of all competitors with 230 meters in the first round but managed only 199.5 in the second.

Austria was another 4.4 points behind in third place.

Austria’s Gregor Schlierenzauer has already clinched the overall title before the season-ending individual ski flying event Sunday.
