heywoodu 14,889 Posted August 23, 2019 #3 Share Posted August 23, 2019 There's a not all too bad 16-year old British girl in the Alpen Cup Thought it'd be interesting enough to mention, don't see British combiners too often. https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/general/athlete-biography.html?sectorcode=nk&competitorid=235888&type=result 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!

heywoodu 14,889 Posted August 24, 2019 #5 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Apparently for whatever reason in the mixed team event they use the average point of the jumpers of a team as their score? http://medias2.fis-ski.com/pdf/2020/NK/4101/2020NK4101RL.pdf Why not just total points? I know the results would be the same then (if you adjust the time differences accordingly), but it'd be much easier to follow.

heywoodu 14,889 Posted August 24, 2019 #6 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Oh and the jumping can be seen here: Nice to finally actually see the women (well, girls mostly) instead of just reading their results. I do find it worrying that apart from Geraghty-Moats everyone competed in this competition, but still most of the girls are young teenagers who have major problems to get a decent jump in...that's specifically worrying if women's Nordic combined is supposed to be Olympic in only 2,5 years time.

Oh great, I thought there was still discussion going on about it That's wonderful news (well, not 'news', but for me then ) for women's Nordic combined. Very interested to see it grow.
