LAHTI, Finland (AP) — Austria followed its team ski jumping victories at the world championships by winning its fourth team victory in four World Cup starts Saturday.

Gregor Schlierenzauer, Martin Koch, Andreas Kofler and Thomas Morgenstern amassed 1086.0 points.

Norway was second with 1065.3, followed by Poland with 1028.3, for which veteran Adam Malysz starred in one of his last World Cup competitions. His 131.5-meter effort was the longest of the night, and earned the most points among all jumps.

Malysz and Finland star Janne Ahonen will finish their international careers in the individual competition Sunday.

The three podium teams were followed by Germany (1017.9), Slovenia (999.7) and Finland (960.1).
