Historical notes

  1. From 1925 to 1927, the FIS referred to these events as Rendezvous races. During the periods of 1929-1931 and 1933-1935, the FIS referred to these events as FIS races. This event has been officially referred to as the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships since 1937.
  2. The FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 1941 were declared a non-event by the FIS at their 1946 meeting and their results have been struck from the official records.
  3. The FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 1980 consisted of a women's 20 km cross-country event because it was not included in the program of the Winter Olympics at Lake Placid.
  4. The FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 1984 consisted of team events in both ski jumping and Nordic combined held at sepearate locations because neither event was included in the program of the Winter Olympics in Sarajevo.
  5. The FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2010[1] may consist of a women's ski jumping individual normal hill event, one that was excluded in the program of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
