Japan coach Chiharu Saito has stuck with struggling veteran Noriaki Kasai for Monday's team competition.

A night after eight-time Winter Olympian Kasai failed to advance to the final round of the large hill event, Saito on Sunday said Kasai will jump third for Japan.

Taku Takeuchi will lead off, followed by Daiki Ito with Ryoyu Kobayashi, who has been the best jumper for Japan at the Pyeongchang Games, anchoring the unit. Kobayashi's brother Junshiro was left out.
