help Nordic Combined World Cup FAQ

What is the Nordic Combined World Cup?

The FIS Nordic Combined World Cup is a season-long international competition combining ski jumping and cross-country skiing. Athletes earn points across events, with the overall standings rewarding consistency through the season.

How does scoring work in Nordic combined?

The ski-jumping result is converted into a time advantage or deficit for the cross-country race. Competitors then start the race in that order, so a strong jump can provide an early lead while the final result is decided on the course.

Why is Nordic combined considered a two-sport event?

Athletes must produce power and technique on the ski-jumping hill and then sustain speed over a cross-country course. The event therefore tests both explosive jumping ability and endurance.

Which organization runs the Nordic Combined World Cup?

The World Cup is organized under the Fédération Internationale de Ski et de Snowboard, commonly called FIS. Events are held at winter-sports venues in different countries during the international season.
