Noriaki Kasai expressed frustration over Japan's unexpected sixth-place finish in the ski jumping super team event at the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics.

Kasai, an eight-time Olympian, explained that heavy, wet snow conditions prevented proper jumps, and he felt the decision to immediately cancel was questionable.
