World Cup final score and placements

The table gives an overview of the placements achieved during the season of the Nordic combined athletes who have received at least one World Cup point (up to 15th place). The table only contains the positions in the point ranks, as only these are given in the result lists linked below. In the absence of information, it is therefore not possible to make a statement as to whether the athlete did not take part in the World Cup or did not achieve the points alone.
