one competition jump from a normal or large hill. Later on the same day, the cross-country race takes place. The winner starts at 00:00:00 and all other athletes start with time disadvantages according to their jumping score. The first to cross the finish line is the winner. A variation of this is the Final Individual Gundersen, consisting of two jumps and of cross-country skiing in free technique. Nordic Combined Triple: introduced in the 2013–14 FIS Nordic Combined World Cup, it features three different events on three days and one overall winner who is awarded extra World Cup points and prize money: Day 1: 1 jump & Prologue Day 2: 1 jump & Individual Gundersen (Top 50 from Day 1's competition) Day 3: 2 jumps & Final Individual Gundersen (Top 30 from Day 2's competition) Team Event: introduced in the 1980s, one team consists of four athletes who have one competition jump each. The total score of all four athletes determines the time disadvantages for the start of the ensuing cross-country race. The first team to cross the finish line wins. Team Sprint: teams consist of two athletes each. In the ski jumping part, every athlete makes one competition jump like in the Individual Gundersen or Team Event formats and the time behind for the start of the successive cross-country race. The team to arrive first at the finish line wins the competition. Included in the rules but currently not used in World Cup: Penalty Race: instead adding a time disadvantage, distance is added to the cross-country part. Mass Start: the only format in which the cross-country part takes place before the ski jumping. All competitors start into a cross-country race in free technique at the same time. The final cross-country times are then converted into points for the ski jumping part. The winner is determined in a points-based system. Events in the Olympics are: the sprint K120 individual, ski jumping K90 (70m), and Team/4x5km. Equipment Ski bindings: secure only the toe of the boot to the ski. In cross-country, it must be placed so that not more than 57% of the entire ski length is used as the front part. In jumping, a cord or aluminum post attaches the heel of the boot to the ski to prevent tips from dropping and/or wobbling of skis during flight. Ski boot For jumping, a high-backed, flexible yet firm boots with a low
