Lugano Trophy (combined team men)

The results list as published in the source ^[5] contains some obvious errors that were tentatively corrected. Moreover, there are inconsistencies when summing up the points of the 20 km and 50 km team results and the results list as published in the source. ^[5] It is speculated that the 20 km team results might not be corrected in respect to the doping disqualification.
