Slovenia won the mixed team ski jumping gold on Monday but the big talking point of the event's first appearance at the Olympics was a series of disqualifications that took Japan out of medal contention in the final round.

Ursa Bogataj and Nika Kriznar, who took gold and bronze in the women's individual event, helped Slovenia to gold alongside Peter Prevc and Timi Zajc. Taking advantage of the chaos, the Russian Olympic Committee claimed the silver medal and Canada, rank outsiders, collected bronze.

Austria, which came sixth, and former champions Germany, which finished ninth and missed the final round, both had jumpers disqualified for suit violations, allowing eighth-placed Japan to go through to the finals. Norway, who was in second place after the first round, took Japan's prior slot at eighth after two of its jumper's scores were also invalidated.
