The Summer Grand Prix concluded in Klingenthal with a mixed team competition that featured a series of eye‑catching long flights from some of ski jumping’s biggest names. In the first round, Domen Prevc flew the farthest at 146 m, with Ryoyu Kobayashi reaching 144.5 m and Halvor Egner Granerud 142 m. Japan led after the first series, followed by Norway and Germany.

Poland’s quartet — Nicole Konderla‑Juroszek, Kacper Tomasiak, Anna Twardosz, and Kamil Stoch — recorded the following first‑round distances: 97.5 m, 129 m, 110 m, and 129 m, placing the team seventh at the halfway point.

In the second round, all four Poles improved: Konderla‑Juroszek to 110.5 m, Tomasiak to 133.5 m, and Twardosz to 117 m. Kamil Stoch also extended his mark to 135.5 m, described as his last career jump on plastic, serving as a symbolic farewell to the Summer Grand Prix circuit.

While most stars did not fly as far in round two, Domen Prevc again stood out with 144.5 m. Japan ultimately won the mixed team event ahead of Slovenia and Norway. Germany placed fourth, Finland fifth, Austria sixth, Poland seventh, and the United States eighth.

The competition provided a fitting finale to the LGP season, combining standout distances from global stars with a sentimental moment for Stoch as he closed his LGP chapter.
