Question: How many skiers are in the Nordic event?
About the article "Nordic combined", section "Team".

Candidate passages:
February 27, 193862 of the 99 skiers completed the event. 
Men's cross country.18 km.
February 25, 1938187 of 188 skiers completed the event. 
Skiers with physical disabilities may compete on the same team as people with vision impairment in team events.
This is the case in cross country relay events, where there needs to be one sit skier, one standing skier and one vision impaired skier.
At the 2010 Winter Paralympics, the men's relay, named the 1 x 4 km + 2 x 5 km relay, a sit skier led off with a leg, with the standing skier going second on a leg and the vision impaired skier going last on a leg.
On the women's side, the event is called the 3 x 2.5 km event.
Skiing in the same order, all three skiers ski .
Sit skiers sit in a chair with two skis attached to it.
Classification percentages for national competitions are not necessarily the same ones used for international competitions.
In the biathlon, sit skiers and standing skiers shot at a target that had a bullseye large while vision impairment classifications shot at a bullseye that was large.
Vision impaired skiers have a sound system that helps them sight for shooting portions in the biathlon.
The guide for B1 skiers generally skis behind the skier in order to maximize the ability of the skier to hear the guide.
The guide tells the skier things like when weight should be shifted, elements coming up on the course, and how to position themselves to maximize the diagonal run of the course.
Guides for B2 and B3 skiers often position themselves differently as the skiers have some vision, which means the things a guide assists with will be different from what is required of a skier who has almost no sight.
In the United States, where competitors with intellectual disabilities in events governed by the Special Olympics, para-Nordic skiing events include 500 metre, 1 km, 3 km, 5 km, 7.5 km, 10 km, 4 x 1 km unified relay and 4 x 1 km relay race.
USABA overseas 5 km, 10 km and 25 km cross country races for skiers with visual impairments. 
LW9 is a para-Alpine and para-Nordic standing skiing "sport class", a classification defined by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC for people with upper and lower limb function problems, and includes cerebral palsy skiers classified CP5, CP6 and CP7, along with people with hemiplegia or amputations.
For international skiing competitions, classification is done through IPC Alpine Skiing or IPC Nordic Skiing.
A national federation such as Alpine Canada handles classification for domestic competitions.
This classification is separated into two subclasses including LW9.1 and LW9.2.
Para-Alpine skiers in this classification have their choice regarding how many skis and ski poles they wish to user, along with the type of ski poles they wish to utilize.
In para-Nordic skiing, skiers use two skis and have an option to use one or two ski poles.
Outriggers are one type of ski pole LW9 skiers can use, which requires its own techniques to use.
As there are a broad range of disabilities in this class, different skiing techniques are learned by competitors.
Skiers missing an arm use a technique that corrects lateral balance issues resulting from the missing arm.
Skiers with cerebral palsy have the introduction of ski poles delayed as skiers may overgrip them.
A factoring system is used in the sport to allow different classes to compete against each other when there are too few individual competitors in one class in a competition.
During the 2011/2012 para-Alpine ski season, the LW9.1 factoring was 0.855 for Slalom, 0.8648 for Giant Slalom, 0.867 for Super-G and 0.8769 for downhill, and for LW9.2 was 0.9287 for slalom, 0.9439 for Giant Slalom, 0.9443 for Super-G and 0.9552 for downhill.
In para-Nordic skiing, the percentage for the 2012/2013 ski season was 85-95% for classic and 82-96% for free.
This classification has competed in its own separate events at the Paralympics and World Championships during the 1990s, but this changed during the 2000s.
Skiers in this classification include Australian James Patterson, and French LW9.2 skier Solène Jambaqué. 
For the three events, there are a maximum 55 athletes allowed to compete.
No nation can have more than five skiers.
For each event, no nation can enter more than four skiers per nation per individual event or one team per nation per relay race.
Host nation Canada is expected to enter skiers in all events.
If no skier meets the qualification standards, they can enter one skier per event.
Quota allocation per nation was based on the World Ranking List (WRL) based on Nordic Combined World Cup and Grand Prix points, followed by Continental Cup Standings from the 2008-09 and 2009-10 Nordic Combined World Cup.
This was made by assigning one quota slot per skier from the top of the standings downwards until the maximum five slots have been reached, including host nation Canada.
When 50 slots are reached in an event where less than ten nations have a minimum of four skiers allocated slot (and the nationa is entered in the team event), the next nation with three skiers will be given a fourth slot until ten nations can compete in the team event.
Any open quota slots will be allocated until the maximum 55 skiers can be reached, including host nation Canada.
This process started on 18 January 2010 and will run until 28 January 2010.
Deadline to VANOC is 1 February 2010.
If a skier from a nation selected for an event cannot compete due to injury or force majeure prior to the start of the first event based on quota allocation, a replacement can be used once the removed skier surrenders their accreditation prior to their replacement can be accredited.
