With the XIII. At the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid , ten competitions were held in Nordic skiing . This was also the 33rd Nordic World Ski Championships . In addition to Olympic medals, world championship medals were also awarded. The only exception was the Nordic Combined, in which there were only Olympic medals. The venues were the Olympic Sports Complex and the MacKenzie Intervale Ski Jumping Complex .

In cross-country skiing for women, the expansion of the program from the last World Championships with a distance of over 20 km has not yet been included in the Olympic program, so there were again only two individual competitions and the relay. However, this competition was held as a world championship at a separate event in Falun . At the subsequent games in Sarajevo, this discipline found its way into the Olympic program.

Wassberg was just ahead of Mieto after both 5 and 10 kilometers, but fell off in the finish, had trouble on the last descent, caught himself again, stumbled on the far left in the lane and saved the victory with the cheering of the accompanying supervisors; Mieto seemed powerful in the finish, sprinting, but it wasn't enough, the gap was the equivalent of 5.9 cm. - The Finn had already failed in Sapporo in 1972 over the same distance, back then in the battle for bronze, by 6/100 s against the Norwegian Ivar Formo .

It was the first competition of the games, so Simjatov became the first gold medalist. He celebrated a start-to-finish victory and was clearly ahead after the first 10 kilometers. Wassberg was still in second place after 20 km. Rotschew dominated the second part of the race (after 10 km in 5th place, after 20 km in 4th place). The narrow trail (in the first half very wavy and with constant alternation between inclines and descents, but then flat) did not seem to suit the Scandinavians. Of the favorites, the Swede Sven-Åke Lundbäck had skiing and waxing problems, and the Norwegian Oddvar Brå also had no chance soon after the start.
Sergei Saweljew , the 30 km winner in Innsbruck four years ago , was present, but was not shown due to lack of form. Third place for Lebanow was a sensation.

Halfway through, Simjatow was still behind Savyalov, who thus got three “golds” including relay gold. Mieto's race to catch up was also remarkable, because after 25 km he was only in 8th place.

10 relays at the start, all in the ranking.

Up to the third leg there was a head-to-head race between the URS runners and those from Norway, after which the final runner Simjatow left his competitor Brå behind. For bronze there was a remarkable finish, in which the German final runner Behle had a big lead, but in the finish stadium the Finn Mieto was able to realize his overtaking maneuver with mighty steps. The race had been lost for Norway and Sweden before the start because the supervisors had used the wrong wax; the conditions were different than before (a heat dip had made the trail soft and slack).

While the first two were among the favorites, with Jeriová an outsider penetrated the medal ranks. Defending champion Takalo had to be content with rank 8. The criterion for the route was a series of climbs and descents that only runners with the best of fitness could manage.

With Barbara Petzold, a woman who did not come from the Soviet Union or Scandinavia won a cross-country skiing competition for the first time at the Winter Olympics. Petzold's schedule was well organized - she was also able to return the favor, as she was only fourth in the 5K competition. Disappointment for the URS runners who did not make it into the medal ranks.

For the time being, the GDR and URS were tied, Rostock handed over with 2 seconds ahead of Baldytschewa. Anding laid the foundation for victory, increasing the gap to 28 seconds. In the end, the lead was over a minute, the average age of the URS squadron was much higher than that of the GDR.

48 participants from 16 countries, all in the ranking. The circle of favorites was extremely large; The jumpers from GDR and Japan as well as Neuper, Kogler and Innauer were considered medal contenders, but it was said that Peter Leitner or Bogdan Norčič also had outsider chances on the wind-prone hill. The first training, in which Neuper jumped the furthest with 99.5, had turned out to be a duel between the GDR and ÖSV jumpers, and it was mostly accompanied by heavy snowstorms. The (new) fin ski used by the Austrians was still in question, and according to the FIS committees there was nothing wrong with it. The wind was a bit stronger when jumping, Innauer took a little more time before his jump, waited for a signal from coach Baldur Preiml (which meant "less wind") and then went into the inrun.

K-point: 114 m
50 participants from 16 countries, all in the ranking.

In the first training round, Hansjörg Sumi set a new hill record with 117 m (previously 115 m from Pentti Kokkonen, Finland), in contrast to the Austrians only Armin Kogler made three jumps over 100 m, Innauer the furthest with 107.5 m - better than they showed the GDR aces. Again the wind played an important role in the competition, the jumpers had to wait again and again on the beam until the correct updraft. Törmänen's victory came as a surprise even for his compatriots, because his best results so far were 3rd place (January 4th 1978 in Innsbruck) and 5th place (January 6th 1979 in Bischofhofen) at the Four Hills Tournament . Curiously, his trainer Kari Ylianttila jumped with him and came in 13th.
Sumi led after the first round, but failed the second and fell back to 7th place. Both the GDR and the Japanese jumpers were sacrificed to the wind. According to their trainer Preiml, the Austrians achieved more than was expected after the training (and also after the first round with ranks 3, 6 and 8 for Neuper, Innauer, Kogler).
