Nordic combined at the Winter Olympics and the FIS Nordic Combined World Cup are ongoing. == History == The first major competition was held in 1892 in Oslo at the first Holmenkollen ski jump.
King Olav V of Norway was an able jumper and competed in the Holmenkollen Ski Festival in the 1920s.
It was in the 1924 Winter Olympics and has been on the program ever since.
Until the 1950s, the cross-country race was held first, followed by the ski jumping.
It was not until 1960 that the Nordic grip on this discipline was broken when West German Georg Thoma won the gold medal at the 1960 Winter Olympics. It was decided in early-November 2016 that women's competitions were to be established on FIS-level starting during the second half of the 2010s with inclusion at world championships starting in 2021 and at the Olympic Winter Games in 2022.
