Nordic combined is a competitive winter sport that blends ski jumping and cross-country skiing. It was a Winter Olympic event for male athletes from the 1924 Chamonix Games through the 2026 Milano-Cortina Games. After a women’s ski jumping event was added to the Olympic program in 2014, Nordic combined was the only Olympic sport without a women’s event. Most Nordic combined competitions follow the Gundersen method of scoring, in which the results of the ski-jumping competition determine the starting times of each athlete in the cross-country race.
