But it gives you a chance to finish in a jumping stadium, which is mostly better filled and "concentrated" than the cross-country stadium AND it allows for competing in better TV-slots. I believe so at least, but I am coming from a country that is totally crazy for ski jumping, so I might be biased a little :thumbup: Regarding the boring cross country event there might also be ways to challenge it - some kind of a sprint event instead of a mass start? Another "exchange rate" between the cross country time and jumping points? I agree that the mass start is not really made for nordic combined, but I do not agree one cannot do anything about it :)

If the jumping is done last, the cross-country part should be done with interval starts :d 

 

I know it won't happen because it's not 'sexy' for the TV viewers with the attention span of a goldfish, but it would at least make it more fair, with the results in both the jumping and the skiing being decided entirely by the quality of the athletes instead of by for example hanging on in a mass start and avoiding serious time loss.

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!
