Nordic Combined

Nordic Combined

Nordic combined is a winter sport in which athletes compete in cross-country skiing and ski jumping.

The first major competition was held in 1892 in Oslo at the first Holmenkollen ski jump. Nordic Combined joined the Winter Olympic programme in 1924 and has been on it ever since. Until the 1950s, the cross-country race was held first, followed by the ski jumping. This was reversed as the score advantage in the cross-country race tended to be too big to overcome via ski jumping.

The sport has been dominated by the Norwegians, supported by the Finns. It was not until 1960 that the Nordic grip on this discipline was broken when West German Georg Thoma won the gold medal at the 1960 Winter Olympics.
