World Cup Ramsau Live

If you like the winter sports of Ski Jumping and Cross Country then you'll love Nordic Combined, a mash up of both winter sports which began back in the 1700's, practiced by soldiers with the first official event being held back in 1892. The sport actually branched off into the ski jumping events of today much later. The first time the sport was held in the Olympics was in 1924. Norway was traditionally the big contributor of athletes for this event but lately more nations have been sending up their best in the sport of Nordic Combined.

The sport features World Cup events such as the World Cup Ramsau each year, as well as for many other Winter Sporting events like Ski Jumping, Cross Country and Biathlon. Some of the top names in the sport of Nordic Combined include Jan Schmid, Todd Lodwick and Bill Demong who are all World Champions. This is a terrific sport that takes skill and strength to be good at, and you can watch these athletes compete live this weekend at the World Cup Ramsau Live, Friday through Sunday, December 18^th through the 20^th.
