Olympic Nordic Combined Skiing Through the Years

Updated August 28, 2020 | Infoplease Staff

Ski jumping followed by a cross country race. Judges stopped converting cross country times into points after the 1994 Games. The times listed are final cross country times adjusted to include the competitors' staggered start time. The staggered start is determined by the Gundersen Method, which is a table that converts final ski jumping point differentials into time intervals. For example, a skier trailing by 1.5 points after the jumping section would start nine seconds behind the leader.
