Long-distance races (30 km for women and 50 km for men) that were contested in the classic style during the [[2002 Winter Olympics]] were freestyle events in Torino.
Due a number changes made by the International Ski Federation, this was the first edition of the Winter Olympic Games in which a rotation system between skiing styles was implemented. In this way, the long cross-country skiing events (30 km for the women and 50 km for men) that were contested in the classic system during the [[2002 Winter Olympics]] were alternated with the freestyle system.
The following list shows the sports and disciplines that were contested at the 2006 Games.:
