Nordic Combined World Cup

This article deals with the Nordic Combined World Cup in general. The past season is described under Nordic Combined World Cup 2019/20 .

Black Forest Cup in Schonach on March 5, 2016

The World Cup of Nordic Combined is aligned in the months from November to March competition series. The series is currently reserved for male athletes.

history

The World Cup was presented at the 34th FIS Congress (May 8 to 15, 1983 in Sydney ) and the overall World Cup winner has been determined since the 1983/84 season . There was also a sprint world cup from the 2000/01 to 2007/08 season . The “Warsteiner Grand Prix Germany” with a special rating was also part of the World Cup.

So far (2019/20) there is no World Cup for women. The participants at the FIS autumn conference in October 2014 in Zurich decided, among other things, to give the women’s competitions a higher priority. From the 2020/21 season there will be a separate World Cup series.

Course of the World Cup seasons

The races are organized by the World Ski Federation FIS . The World Cup season usually includes twelve stations with around two competitions on site. The number of World Cup races decreases in years with the Olympic Winter Games or Nordic World Ski Championships . The events predominantly take place in Central and Northern Europe. The Nordic Combined Triple has been taking place as part of the World Cup since the 2013/14 season . Following the example of the Tour de France , the leader in the overall World Cup wears a yellow jersey .

The B squad of the nations carried out the B World Cup in Nordic Combined until the 2007/08 season. Since the 2008/09 season, the second series, as in ski jumping, has been known as the Continental Cup .

World Cup points system

A point system for the individual races determines the overall World Cup ranking. For this purpose, the points achieved by an athlete from the individual competitions of the season are added. For the Sprint World Cup, only the points that an athlete has received in the sprint races are counted. The FIS World Cup in Nordic Combined is based on the FIS points system . Since the 2002/03 season , the winner of the respective World Cup has received 100 World Cup points, the second 80 and the third 60 points. World Cup points are awarded up to 30th place for which there is still one point. For the nation ranking, the points scored by all participants in a nation are added up.

Special ratings

Warsteiner Grand Prix Germany

The Warsteiner Grand Prix Germany (WGP) is a special ranking within the World Cup, similar to the Four Hills Tournament in the Ski Jumping World Cup . The usual FIS World Cup regulations for Nordic Combined apply for this. Only the results of certain World Cup races held in Germany are included in the rating for the WGP . The Warsteiner Grand Prix rating results from the sum of the points from the usually three individual competitions. The athlete with the most points wins the Warsteiner Grand Prix Germany and receives the prize money. The prize money in the 2006/07 season totaled 25,000 euros for the first six in the ranking (1st place: 10,000 €, 2nd place: 6,000 €, 3rd place: 4,000 €, 4th place: 2,500 €, 5th place : 1,500 € and for 6th place: 1,000 €).

Nordic Combined Triple

In the Nordic Combined Triple, three Gundersen competitions take place on one weekend , the field of participants in the second competition is reduced to the best 50 and for the last competition to the best 30 and the point and time differences for the starting order and the overall ranking are adopted (analogous for the Four Hills Tournament ). The first competition consists of a jumping and a 5-kilometer run, the second of a jumping and a 10-kilometer run, and the last one of a jumping with two passes and a 15-kilometer run. Half of the usual World Cup points are awarded for the first and second stages and twice as much for the final scoring. At the end of this highlight of the World Cup, which was held for the first time in Seefeld in Tirol in January 2014 , the overall winner is the one who crosses the finish line of the final run first.
