It was another unbelievable accomplishment for the United States Nordic combined teammates as they won a gold and silver medal in the large hill individual event at the winter Olympics. The event consists of ski jumping followed by a cross-country ski race. In the above photo, Steamboat locals Johnny Spillane and Billy Demong proudly show off their medals. The competition was marred by harsh weather but Demong was able to win the 10 km cross-country race in 25 minutes and 32.9 seconds and Spillane won his third silver of the games, finishing only four seconds behind his teammate.
