Results
editSki jumping
editEach of the four team members performed a single jump that was judged in the same format as the Olympic ski jumping competition. The scores for all the jumps each team were combined and used to calculate their deficit in the cross-country skiing portion of the event. Each point difference between teams in the ski jumping portion in this event resulted in a three second difference in the cross country part of the event.[1]
Cross-country
editEach member of the team completed a five kilometre cross-country skiing leg.[1]
