Source-derived summary

The 2008/09 FIS Nordic Combined World Cup was the 26th world cup season, a combination of ski jumping and cross-country skiing organized by FIS. It began in Kuusamo on 29 November 2008. Anssi Koivuranta from Finland became overall winner. Hannu Manninen retired before the season began.

Changes

This World Cup is the first season with a new system. Instead of a sprint (1x jump and 7,5 km cross country skiing race) and Gundersen (2x jumps and 1x 15 km cross country skiing race), there is now a combined competition with a single jump and a single 10 km cross country skiing race. The Masstart is unchanged. The Relay is now 5 km Cross country and one jump for every jumper in the team.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “2008–09 FIS Nordic Combined World Cup”, the useful work is to connect “2008–2009 season of the FIS Nordic Combined Skiing” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The linked authority identifier is Q1811815. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2008.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
