At the 1952 Winter Olympics in Oslo, six Nordic skiing events were contested – four cross-country skiing events, one ski jumping event, and one Nordic combined event.[1] It was also the first time that women were allowed to compete in cross-country skiing at the Olympics.[2]
In men's cross-country skiing Hallgeir Brenden of Norway won the 18 km and Veikko Hakulinen of Finland won the 50 km.[3][4] In the 4x10 km relay the Finnish team won, which consisted of Tapio Mäkelä, Paavo Lonkila, Heikki Hasu, and Urpo Korhonen.[5] In women's cross-country skiing Lydia Wideman of Finland won the only women's event, which was the 10 km.[6]
In ski jumping, the only winner was Arnfinn Bergmann of Norway for the men's large hill.[7] In Nordic combined, the only winner was Simon Slattvik of Norway for the individual.[8]
