The gold in the team event of the World Ski Championships in Meribel was won by the USA (which had eliminated the Italian quartet in the quarter-finals), ahead of outgoing champion Norway, which is therefore silver.
The bronze instead went to Canada which thus relegated Austria to fourth place, beaten 2-2 for the best summation of the times.
In all likelihood, these are the last medals awarded in this discipline that the FIS also wants to eliminate from the world championship calendar.
