At the XIX. The 2002 Olympic Games in Salt Lake City hosted 18 Nordic skiing competitions. The venues were Soldier Hollow at Midway and the Utah Olympic Park Jumps in Park City . The Olympic program was expanded to include three disciplines. For the cross-country skiers, there was also a sprint for women and men and a second individual competition was held in the Nordic Combined.

These games were u. a. shaped by numerous doping cases among cross-country skiers. The German Johann Mühlegg , who started for Spain, had won three gold medals, which he had to surrender because of proven doping abuse . In addition, Mühlegg, who always emerged as an eccentric, was suspended for two years. The Russians Larissa Lasutina and Olga Danilowa were stripped of several medals . They were initially banned from further competitions in the games. This increased the chances of the other teams in the relay and the German cross-country skiers eventually won Olympic gold. The two Austrian cross-country skiers Achim Walcher and Marc Mayer and their trainer Walter Mayer had already left before the start of the competitions . Several syringes and blood bags were subsequently found in their rooms. There was a scandal, the athletes were excluded from the games, their coaches suspended up to and including the 2010 Winter Olympics .

Outstanding athletes were Samppa Lajunen from Finland and Simon Ammann from Switzerland . Lajunen won both individual competitions in Nordic combined and with his team also the team competition. Ammann was the first athlete ever to win gold medals on both ski jumping hills.

Simon Ammann's success as the first Swiss Olympic ski jumping champion was one of the biggest surprises at the Salt Lake City Games: Ammann, who was just 20 years old, won the Olympic Games without having previously won a World Cup ski jumping event. His best placement up until then had been two second places at the start of the season.

66 participants from 21 countries, 50 of them in the evaluation.

After his surprising victory on the normal hill, Simon Ammann also won the jumping on the large hill, this time by a clear margin. This makes him, alongside Matti Nykänen in 1988 and Kamil Stoch in 2014, the only ski jumper to win both individual Olympic competitions. Ammann even repeated this feat in 2010.

13 teams at the start, all in the ranking.

With the smallest possible advantage of 0.1 points (less than ten centimeters), the German team won over Finland. The favored Austrians surprisingly had to give Slovenia the bronze medal. Simon Ammann (two golds) and Adam Małysz (silver and bronze), who dominated the individual competitions, could not stand out due to their weaker teammates from Switzerland and Poland.
