The men’s and women’s individual large hill and men’s super team contests will close out ski jumping at Milan Cortina 2026. New to these games is the women's individual large hill competition.

With the talent pool for all three events drawing from the exact same ski jumpers who competed in the normal hill events, it’s yet to be seen whether those who struggled to adjust on the normal hill will improve on the large hill.

The normal hill at Predazzo Ski Jumping Stadium is 107 meters (around 351 feet) — longer than the length of a football field. The large hill is 141 meters (approximately 462 feet), so athletes are able to fly farther with a longer flight time.

Following the individual competitions, two men from each country will be partnered to each make up to three rounds of jumps off the large hill. The four lowest scoring teams at the end of each round will be eliminated.

Slovenia siblings Domen and Nika Prevc, the heavy gold medal favorites in each individual ski jumping event, found themselves without Olympic gold in men's or women's individual normal hill. Nika Prevc earned silver in the women's contest, but Domen Prevc finished 6th in the men's event.

Nevertheless, the duo led Slovenia to a consecutive Olympic title in mixed team normal hill alongside Anze Lanisek and Nika Vodan on Feb. 10. The team won gold with a staggering 30.9-point lead over the Norwegian silver medalists.

As reigning world champions in men's and women's large hill, the Prevcs are podium contenders in the Olympic large hill events, but Lanisek and Vodan shouldn't be overlooked as they each gained pivotal points for Slovenia in the mixed team event.

Heading into these Games, the Austrians were one of the teams to beat. But after missing the podium in all three normal hill events (men’s, women’s and mixed team), Austria’s potential for success is more uncertain.

Lisa Eder led Austria to finish 4th in the women’s normal hill — the country’s best finish in the normal hill events.

The men, Stephan Embacher, Daniel Tschofenig, Stefan Kraft and Jan Hoerl, had difficulty finding their groove. They tend to perform better on the large hill but were seen struggling during large hill training, with the exception of Hoerl. Hoerl finished at the top of the field in the first official training round on Feb. 12 while the others were unable to crack the top ten of any of the three jump rounds.

If Hoerl can remain consistent, he could find himself atop the men’s individual large hill podium and part of the Austrian men’s super team.

Philipp Raimund has made the jumps of his life at Milan Cortina 2026. In his Olympic debut, the German flew a staggering 106.5 meters on the normal hill to win the men's Olympic title without having won a World Cup event. He proved his great jumps weren’t a fluke during the mixed team event, where he made a monster leap to top off the German team’s final total with 140.9 points — one of the highest scores of the day.

Raimund replicated his success during the large hill training on Feb. 12, where he ranked 2nd in two separate jumps. It’s likely he could clinch a second individual ski jumping title at these Games in the men’s individual large hill event.

Germans Felix Hoffmann, Selina Freitag and Agnes Reisch have also performed well. Partnered with Raimund, they made up the German team narrowly missed the mixed team normal hill podium – only 1.2 points behind Japan.

As the mixed team silver medalists at Milan Cortina 2026, it's clear that the Norwegians are strong all-around ski jumpers. Marius Lindvik is the defending Olympic champion in men's large hill, while Anna Odine Strom shocked the field when she swooped in and snatched gold in the women's normal hill competition on Feb. 7.

The rest of the Norwegians have also performed promisingly. Eirin Maria Kvandal, Heidi Dyhre Traaserud, Kristoffer Eriksen Sundal and Johann Andre Forfang all finished in the top ten of their respective normal hill competitions.

Japan has a lot of medals as the only non-European ski jumping powerhouse. Each member of the Japanese team that won Olympic bronze in the mixed team normal hill event on Feb. 10 owns an individual Olympic medal.

Ryoyu Kobayashi was the big winner at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. He claimed both the Olympic gold in normal hill and silver in large hill. Although he's yet to win an individual medal at these Games, he could perform better in the large hill event. He's also likely to compete in the men's super team event with Ren Nikaido, where the pair's consistency could help them clinch a podium spot.

Nikaido and teammate Nozomi Maruyama found success early at Milan Cortina by each claiming bronze in their respective normal hill contests.

The final member of the quartet that won bronze in the mixed team event is Sara Takanashi, who boasts an impressive 55-percent win rate in individual World Cup appearances and could mirror this success in Predazzo.

Kevin Bickner, Jason Colby and Tate Frantz will be representing the United States in the men's individual large hill event, while Annika Belshaw, Josie Johnson and Paige Jones will be competing on the women's side.

Belshaw, Colby, Frantz and Jones advanced to the final round of the mixed team event and placed 7th.

This is the strongest American ski jumping team in years, which could be attributed to the U.S. partnering with Norway to share ski jumping and Nordic combined training facilities, resources and coaches.

Find out if the Prevc siblings can extend their success into the large hill events when the men's individual large hill contest starts at 12:45 p.m. ET on Saturday, Feb. 14. The women’s event starts the next day, Sunday, Feb. 15, at the same time. Both events can be seen live on NBCOlympics.com and Peacock.
