Demong Wins First U.S. Gold in Nordic Combined or Nordic Anything!!!

Superb, strong skiing and thoughtful tactical planning allowed Vermontville native Billy Demong to win his and the United States' first Olympic gold medal in nordic combined skiing. Teammate Johnny Spillane was right behind Billy to claim the silver. Bill's medal is the first gold medal ever won by an American in any nordic competition. Wow.
Way to go Billy - congratulations!!
