Jumping skis: Maximum length 145% of body height, adjusted by BMI (lower BMI = shorter maximum ski length, per FIS BMI-to-ski-length table). Minimum ski width 95 mm at the binding. Maximum weight per ski not to exceed half the ski length in grams (e.g., max 1350 g for a 270 cm ski).; Jumping suit...

Skating skis: Free technique is standard for the cross-country phase. Minimum length = athlete’s height minus 10 cm. Skis must comply with all FIS cross-country equipment rules.; Skating poles: Maximum length 100% of body height. Pole baskets maximum 100 cm².; Skating boots: High-cuff design with...

Athletes carry or transport two complete sets of equipment: jumping gear and cross-country gear; Equipment is pre-positioned in the transition area before the jumping phase begins; Rapid transition between jumping and skiing equipment is essential; teams practice transition to minimize time

Normal Hill: Hill Size (HS) 85–109 m, with the construction-point distance (w) 75–99 m (ICR 511.1). In-run length, takeoff table angle, and landing slope profile must meet FIS homologation standards.; Large Hill: HS 110–149 m (ICR 511.1). Full FIS homologation certificate required.; Wind screens:...

Individual Gundersen course: 5 to 15 km raced on 2.0 or 2.5 km laps (ICR 512.1). Course terrain one-third uphill, one-third undulating rolling terrain, one-third varied downhills (ICR 512.4).; 5 km course (team relay / women): 2.5 km laps; total climb 150–210 m (ICR 512.1, 512.5.3); Course must b...

Transition area between jumping hill and cross-country start: athletes change from jumping to skiing equipment. Minimum size to accommodate all competitors simultaneously.; Stadium area includes: cross-country start zone (staggered start positions), finish area, exchange zone (a rectangle 30 m lo...

Athletes must hold a valid FIS license and be registered by their national federation; Athletes must meet minimum FIS points requirements in both ski jumping and cross-country to qualify; Minimum age: at OWG, World Ski Championships, World Cup and Continental Cup, competitors must reach their 16t...

Individual events: Each athlete competes alone in both phases; Team event: 4 athletes per team who must participate in and complete both disciplines: all 4 jump, then race a 4×5 km relay (ICR 543.1, 512.1); Team jumping order and relay leg order are declared by the team coach before competition

Competition jury: FIS Technical Delegate, Chief of Competition, Assistant TD; oversees both phases; Jumping officials: 5 style judges, distance measurers, equipment controllers, wind/gate compensation committee; Cross-country officials: Timekeepers, technique controllers (not typically needed as ...

All Nordic combined events follow the same fundamental sequence: ski jumping first, then cross-country skiing. The jumping phase determines the start time gaps for the cross-country phase using the Gundersen method.
