The cross-country skiing part of this event was combined with the main medal event, meaning that athletes competing here were skiing for two disciplines at the same time. Details can be found above in this article, in the cross-country skiing section. The ski jumping (normal hill) event was held separate from the main medal event of ski jumping, results can be found in the table below.
