Alternating legs

After individual qualification efforts, the final is a relay for 2 athletes, each skiing 3–6 alternating legs. The invitation states the actual number and length of legs.

Team result

Qualification combines the partners’ times. The final determines the order of qualifying teams; remaining teams follow their qualification ranking. Waxing skis during the final is forbidden.
