    Poland's ski-jumping duo Kacper Tomasiak and Paweł Wąsek earned a stunning Olympic silver medal in the men's ski-jumping superteam event at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing after officials decided to cancel the third round of jumps when weather conditions worsened. The ski-jumping competition concluded on Monday after the judges determined there was too much falling snow and the wind was too unpredictable to continue the remainder of the competition. Because there had been two completed rounds of jumping at that time, the judges declared those results final and awarded Poland the silver medal with a total score of 547.3; the country earned its fourth medal of the Olympics in Italy.
