Nordic combined

Main article: Nordic combined at the 1932 Winter Olympics

Events:

• 18 km cross-country skiing
• normal hill ski jumping

The cross-country skiing part of this event was combined with the main medal event of cross-country skiing. Some athletes (but not all) entered in both the cross-country skiing and Nordic combined event, their time on the 18 km was used for both events.

The ski jumping (normal hill) event was held separate from the main medal event of ski jumping, results can be found in the table below.
