The Team competition at the FIS Ski Flying World Championships 2026 was held on 25 January 2026.
Controversies During the jumps of Group 4 in Round 1, an incident involving the skis of Domen Prevc occurred. While preparing for a pre-jump equipment control, Prevc leaned his skis on the control booth. The skis later fell down the in-run, hitting on their way the legs of Marius Lindvik, who was sitting on the starting bar at the moment. An extra set of skis was soon provided by the founder of ski manufacturer Peter Slatnar, but Prevc was denied his attempt by an FIS official Hubert Mathis, on account of being too late to the start, as the delay was deemed to be the athlete's fault.
The rules require a competition staff to hold the skis during the control, but according to the Slovenian TV expert , no such person was present at that moment. Furthermore, it is unclear whether the skis fell on their own, or whether the fall could have been caused by the competition staff member. However, the claim of staff missing was denied by the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup race director Sandro Pertile, who said that the case will be further investigated.
After the end of Round 1, the Slovenian team manager filed an official protest to the jury, which was quickly rejected by a jury voting with a result of 1:3. The jury requested video footage of the incident, but weren't provided one. Team Slovenia then decided to withdraw from Round 2, but after consideration that decision was reverted. This could have been a misunderstanding on whether Prevc was considered disqualified or did not start.
Next day, the announced that they will file an official appeal concerning the incident to the FIS on the following day (27 January 2026). The appeal has been later dismissed by the FIS. The dispute was then submitted to the Court of Arbitration for Sport by the Slovenian Ski Federation, and later withdrawn, after reaching a compromise with the FIS, which granted that a working group on the clarity of the competition rules will be established.
Results The first round started at 16:15 and the final round at 17:35.
