There are individual and team events in Nordic Combined: the former is formatted as Ski Jumping (Normal Hill) + Cross-Country 10km / Ski Jumping (Large Hill) + Cross-Country 10km, whilst the latter consists of Ski Jumping (Large Hill) + Cross-Country 4x5km.
The race starts with a jump in the morning, which is followed by distance runs in the afternoon. In the individual event, the athlete who records the best score in the jump is given a head start in the cross-country, where the participants begin the race according to their standings in the previous part. In the team event, the cumulative score from the jumps of four athletes in each team decides which team should start first in the cross-country, where the quartet take part in a relay race to decide the winning team.
In the Winter Youth Olympic Games Gangwon 2024, the events include Normal Hill + Cross-Country 6km, Normal Hill + Cross-Country 4km and Mixed Team Normal Hill + Cross-Country 4x3.3km.
