FIS's "KB" cup is the combined standing. This capture holds no World Cup points tables, so the trophy winners stand in for full final standings.

13 racesData captured 4 Nov 2026Sources and method
- This capture holds no World Cup points tables, so a season page lists the crystal-globe winners rather than full final standings.
- The four 1987/88 parallel races FIS flags as non-World-Cup (race 131255-131258) are left out of every count here, exactly as FIS leaves them out of its own totals.
- Margins are shown for 47 of the 55 races: FIS publishes comparable times for the rest nowhere in this capture.
- Athletes are joined on the FIS competitor id, so a renamed athlete (Vonn/Kildow, Gut/Gut-Behrami, Braathen/Pinheiro Braathen) stays one person. Each race shows the name FIS published at the time.
