The quartet of Michael Neumayer, Pascal Bodmer, Martin Schmitt and Michael Uhrmann scored 965.5 points to top the podium ahead of Norway and a second string Austrian outfit.

"We beat the Norwegians and that was very good for us, said Uhrmann, who jumped 134.6 metres. "It was a nice feeling to hear the national anthem, it's been a while.

"Today's victory is worth nothing at the Olympics, but we're in good shape. We will go there to have a good time."

Austria were without any of their five Vancouver-bound athletes but David Zauner's final jump of 142m ensured the Olympic gold medallists scooped the team event season title.
