Skiing fast with Taylor Fletcher | FIS Nordic Combined

After "Flying high with Akito Watabe", this new edition of "Behind the Scenes" takes you skiing with one of the World Cup's fastest skiers. American Taylor Fletcher explains what it takes to ski fast in Nordic Combined.

Nordic Combined is a winter sport in which athletes compete in both cross-country skiing and ski jumping. The first major competition in Nordic combined was held in 1892 in Oslo at the first Holmenkollen Ski Festival, an event still held annually. The sport was included at the 1924 Winter Olympics, and has been on the programme ever since.
