on February 23, February 25, and March 3, 2007.
Finland, who had won one gold medal in the event since 1950 despite having skiers such as Hannu Manninen
and Samppa Lajunen
, with a combined 63 event wins and five overall wins in the FIS Nordic Combined World Cup, won the most gold medals at these Championships, with two. However, they could not prevent Germany's Ronny Ackermann
from winning his third individual gold medal in succession, thus becoming the first Nordic combined athlete to win three times in succession.
Bill Demong
became the third American to win a medal in any event at the Nordic World Ski Championships, four years after Johnny Spillane won gold in the Nordic combined sprint, while the Norwegian skiers, who won three medals and one gold in 2005, failed to defend their team gold without 2005 sprint bronze medallist Kristian Hammer
. Austria won no medals for the first time since 1995, with Felix Gottwald
being outsprinted for the team bronze and finishing 23 seconds behind the winners in the sprint. The French showed their dominance in the ski jumping part of the competition with a lead in the individual and third place in the sprint, but could not maintain those positions in the cross-country part of the event.

(Finland

Bill Demong had the second fastest time in the cross country part of the competition to edge Koivuranta for the silver. Ackermann is the first person to ever win the event three consecutive times at the World Championships and the first person to win the event at a World Championships or Winter Olympics level since Ulrich Wehling

caught up with Jaakko Tallus

and Björn Kircheisen
out in the final leg. Like in the sprint, Kircheisen remained in the hunt for two thirds of the race, but lost contact on the final climb.

Later in the championships, Hannu's younger sister Pirjo would earn gold in the women's cross country 4 x 5 km relay, making them the first brother and sister to ever win gold at the same championship.
