Pronunciation: [nˈɔːdɪk kəmbˈa͡ɪnd] (IPA) 
Nordic combined is an Olympic winter sport that combines two disciplines of skiing - cross country skiing and ski jumping. This unique sport has been popular in the Nordic countries for centuries. However, there are several synonyms for Nordic combined that can be used to describe this sport, including Biathlon, Skiathlon, Skijoring, and Skimarathon. Biathlon is a combination of cross country skiing and rifle shooting, whereas Skiathlon is a combination of classical and freestyle cross country skiing. Skijoring is similar to Nordic combined but with a horse pulling the skier, and Skimarathon is a long-distance skiing competition. Each of these synonyms has its unique characteristics and requirements, but they all have one thing in common- they are all physically challenging and require an athlete with a high level of endurance.
