Nordic combined

Main article: Nordic combined at the 1924 Winter Olympics

The Nordic combined event at the 1924 Winter Olympics included two parts: 18 km cross-country skiing and normal hill ski jumping. The cross-country skiing part was also part of another event, so some athletes did both. Not all athletes in Nordic combined also did the cross-country skiing event because each country could only send a limited number of athletes per event.

The ski jumping part was held separately, and you can see the results in the table below.
