Slovenia first claimed the mixed team ski jumping crown at the Beijing 2022 Olympics, establishing themselves as the dominant force in this relatively new Olympic event. The mixed team competition, which features both male and female athletes competing together, has become one of the most exciting additions to the Olympic ski jumping program.

The mixed team format requires nations to field two male and two female athletes, with each competitor taking one jump. The combined scores determine the final team rankings, making it essential for countries to have depth across both genders.
