The main innovation concerns the abolition'', probably all, of the race penalty. The race format introduced a couple of years ago, with the gaps in jumping translated into penalty turns in the bottom instead of seconds, he had a very short life as hated by most of the many technical and organizing committees.
The individual competitions will then overwhelmingly gundersen (a jump and 10 km of skiing) with the exception of the final (two jumps and 15 km cross-country) and multistage test scheduled in Seefeld. '' The event, initially called the Weekend Challenge, will be called instead "Nordic Combined Triple" and will be modeled along the lines of completizioni stage cross-country skiing.
In addition to the cancellation of the penalty race there have been some changes in the calendar. On November 30, will be held in Kuusamo a relay instead of a gundersen, conversely December 21 will be held in Schonach an individual trial rather than teams. Also in Lahti will race on Saturday and Sunday, not Friday and Saturday as originally planned.
A total of 15 individual events are planned, including one consisting of three stages, for a total of 17 events counting towards the World Cup. There will also be 2 couples and 3 runners sprint classic, and of course the Olympic competitions in Sochi (Two gundersen and a relay race) does not award points for the crystal ball.
