TESERO, Italy (AP) — Nordic goodbye? It could be the last Olympics for a sport that mixes the grace of ski jumping with the grind of cross-country skiing. Nordic combined events at the Milan Cortina Games ended Thursday.
One of the six sports contested at the first Winter Games in 1924, Nordic combined combines ski jumping with a cross-country race. Athletes first compete in ski jumping, on a normal or large hill, and then race a cross-country course to determine the winner.
USA’s Alysa Liu won a historic gold medal. The women’s hockey team also beat Canada to clinch the gold. Follow here for live updates.
