Nordic combined at the 1992 Winter Olympics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nordic combined event at the 1992 Winter Olympics consisted of two athletic disciplines (ski jumping and cross-country skiing), held from 11 February to 17 February. The ski jumping portion and the 15 km cross-country portion of the Nordic Combined event were both held at Courchevel-le Praz. A temporary cross-country stadium was constructed in a field directly adjacent (east) to the Tremplin du Praz ski jump outrun.[1] All other cross-country and Biathlon competitions were held at Les Saisies.[2]
