Top: Sports: Winter_Sports: Skiing: Nordic: Nordic_Combined

Nordic combined is the nordic skiing discipline that combines ski jump and cross-country skiing. These two disciplines strain different muscles. Thus, if the athlete trains too much take-off power, he might lose his endurance for cross-country skiing and the other way round. For this reason most combiners prefer one out of these two disciplines.
