Nordic combined: What it is, and why it’s the only Olympic sport not offered to women

Explaining nordic combined and why it isn’t offered to women at the Olympics.

If you’re a fan of the Olympics then this is quite the six-month span for you. First, you were gifted the Tokyo Olympics that took place last summer. Now, the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics are about ready to get going in the coming weeks.
