Balance is central in Nordic Combined, a competition that combines ski jumping with cross-country skiing. The latter of the two disciplines requires muscle, for dynamism and endurance, but mass is an obstacle when it comes to the former.
With that in mind, it is utterly baffling that the Nordic Combined at the 2026 Winter Olympics only includes a men’s competition, making it the only event without any female presence in Milan-Cortina. This means that athletes such as Ida Marie Hagen, Alexa Brabec and Ingrid LÃ¥te, despite providing excellent entertainment this FIS World Cup season, have been left to watch from home.
The International Olympic Committee has not yet provided a satisfactory explanation.
In the men’s competition, world champion and world number one Johannes Lamparter of Austria is the skier to beat, with Norway’s Jens Luras Oftebro and Germany’s Julian Schmid the most likely contenders.
