Nordic Combined athletes compete in Ski Jumping and Cross Country skiing. The
competitions begin with Ski Jumping, which is carried out just like a normal Ski Jumping
competition. The Ski Jumping portion is then
followed by a Cross Country race which uses a Gundersen start, where the best ski
jumper starts the race first and then other competitors start staggered behind the leader
based on their jumping result.
