The Season at a Glance

The table below shows the entire competitive season with the dates and venues of the events. However, Nordic Combined skiing is an outdoor sport, subject to the whims of the weather which can force changes. Sometimes an event is postponed and run later at a different venue, or perhaps the event in changed. For example, a planned Gunder 15 km event may be shortened to a 7.5 km sprint.
Table columns give: the venue location, the event type, the date of the event, Bill Demong's finish place, the points earned for that placing, link "US" to the USST news story and link "FIS" to the official FIS results page. That results page includes, in the upper-right corner, a list of available files including: jump results, World Cup standings, Nations Cup standings, money standings, start lists, etc. The USST article usually describes the weather conditions and how the race went for Bill and for Johnny Spillane.
