Japan's margin of victory, followed by their four minute margin of victory at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Falun the previous year, would lead the FIS to change the nordic combined team event from a 3 x 10 km relay to a 4 x 5 km relay later in 1994 that would become effective at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 1995 in Thunder Bay and at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano
