Balance is at the heart of Nordic combined, a competition that fuses ski jumping and cross-country skiing. The second of the two disciplines requires muscle, for dynamism and endurance, but mass is a hindrance for the first.
With this in mind, it is quite puzzling that the Nordic combined at the 2026 Winter Olympics will feature only a men’s competition, making it the only event without any women’s presence at Milan-Cortina. This means that athletes like Ida Marie Hagen, Alexa Brabec and Ingrid Låte, while providing superb entertainment this FIS World Cup season, have had to watch from home.
The International Olympic Committee has not yet provided a satisfactory explanation.
On the men’s side, Austrian Johannes Lamparter, World Cup leader and world number one, is the skier to beat, while Norwegian Jens Luras Oftebro and German Julian Schmid emerge as the most likely contenders.
