I have a new-found obsession with Nordic Combined ever since the recent Winter Olympics. But every time I watch the competitions I find myself thinking "Could this person who's consistently bad at the jumping rounds yet excels at skiing (e.g. Alessandro Pittin) just switch to cross-country skiing and make it there?". The same goes for good jumpers who are weak skiers.
Now, I know that your average Nordic Combined athlete is not quite as good at jumping as a ski jumper and not as strong at skiing as a cross-country skier. It's only natural because of the double-edged physical demands of the discipline. But is the gap that big? Are there any athletes who made the switch and succeeded/failed?
