WOMEN

Women did not compete in Olympic Nordic Events until Oslo 1952. As a consequence of the introduction of the skating technique by Bill Koch early in 1982, there have been two significant changes in men's and women's cross country racing since the end of the 1984 Winter Games in Sarajevo. First, the classical and freestyle techniques were designated for specific events beginning in 1988, and the Pursuit race was introduced in 1992. Since 1988 cross country events have been limited to one of two styles of skiing - Classical in which the skis remain diagonal and Freestyle in which there are no restrictions thus enabling use of a skating technique. Races are held on a "time trial" basis except for relays (which have a mass start), cross country freestyle sprint races (which are head-to-head) or where otherwise indicated.
