Nordic Combined

This popular event combines ski jumping and cross-country skiing, a juxtaposition of an incredibly explosive, adrenaline-seeking sport with a cardiovascular endurance event, making Nordic combined competitors some of the best all-around athletes in the world. Participants will compete on a K90 (HS96), a shorter hill, at the Olympic Jumping Complex, and race distances from 3k to 10k at Mt. Van Hoevenberg. The winner is determined by a combination of points, and the first racer across the finish line after a pursuit start.
