Event naming

[edit]

With the nordic combined format changing for this Olympics, how do we want to call the events? I have heard the event formerly known as the 15 km Individual Gundersen be referred either as the 10 km individual normal hill or the Normal hill Gundersen while I have heard the event formerly known as the 7.5 km sprint be referred either as the 10 km individual large hill or the Large hill Gundersen. Vancouver's website([1]) has it listed as Individual NH/ 10 km CC and Individual LH/ 10 km CC for both events, respectively.

When I did the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2009 stuff for Nordic combined events last year, I referred to them as the 10 km individual large hill (7.5 km sprint) and the 10 km individual normal hill (15 km Gundersen). Do we want stay this way? A little help here. Chris (talk) 22:04, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I sent an e-mail out to John Aalberg, Whistler Olympic Park and Director of Nordic Sports yesterday afternoon, and he told me VANOC had used the names listed as suggested by the FIS. Aalberg told me they will remain so. Chris (talk) 18:43, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
