Nordic Combined - Individual Gundersen (15km)
Georg Hettich of Germany defended his lead after the ski jumping portion with
a race of 39:44.6 to record Germany's second gold medal at the Olympics, in the
second event.
Silver medallist Felix Gottwald of Austria and bronze medallist Magnus Moan
of Norway both managed to beat Hettich by more than a minute in the
cross-country leg, but after eleventh and ninth place respectively in the ski
jumping leg, their cross-country skiing was not enough to take them to the very
top of the podium. Moan beat compatriot Petter Tande in a dash for the finish
line, while Finn Jaakko Tallus is a further second behind.

Team (4 x 5 km)
The team event was planned for February 15th 2006, but because of high winds
on the ski jumping hill, the jury decided to abandon the team competition midway
through the second round and hold the competition on February 16th 2006.
