A skier's best results in 18 distance races and 9 sprint races counts towards the overall World Cup totals.
All distance races, included individual stages in Tour de Ski and the total World Cup Final, count towards the distance standings. All sprint races, including the sprint races during the Tour de Ski and the first race of the World Cup final, count towards the sprint standings.
