The Sports Book has been given precedent as that also shows whence the scores came. 2. placement β 2 This was an unofficial version of the Nation Cup that ultimately would be implemented in the 1986–87 season, though in this version only the individual races counted. 3. placement γ 3 The Lahti Ski Museum has omitted Meloche from the list of results for some reason, but Aftenposten and the Sports Book includes her.
