Nordic Combined Techniques

Sport overview

Nordic combined is a two-day winter competitive sport that combines ski jumping with cross-country skiing. Ski jumping takes place on day one with cross- country on day two. Athletes take part in individual, sprint and team events. There are Olympic, World Cup and World Championship Nordic combined events, and currently all these are for men only.

Ski jumping

The jump has four main phases: inrun, take-off, flight and landing. The jumper approaches the take off table with their body crouched and arms behind their back. On take-off they straighten their body and lean forward, spreading the skis in a V shape to create lift. At the end of the jump, they land with knees bent and one foot in front of the other telemark fashion.

Cross- country

The cross-country starting order is decided by the results of the previous days’ jumping competition, with points being converted into seconds. Most competitors race using the “skating” style, sliding each leg forward with the ski angled so its inside edge drives back against the snow. Weight is transferred entirely from one ski to the other as the skier moves. In this way, they can achieve speeds up to 30kph. The first past the post in the cross country is the overall winner.

Competitor profile

Nordic combined athletes need courage for the jumps and stamina and strength in cross country races. Both disciplines are technically demanding. Competitors spend as much training time working on their technique as they do on maintaining cardiovascular fitness.
