Contents
This was the first individual event that used the Gundersen system, using a pursuit cross-country race, with the time gaps for the pursuit determined by the point differences in the ski jumping.
Ski Jumping
Athletes did three normal hill ski jumps, with the lowest score dropped. The combined points earned on the jumps determined the starting order and times for the cross-country race; each three points was equal to a 20 second deficit.
Cross-Country
The cross-country race was over a distance of 15 kilometres.
