Nordic Combined LH / 10 KM race
Gold and Silver for the U.S.!!! Demong finishes first, Spillane +4.0
and Gruber (AUS) takes the Bronze. I am still in a daze. Men's U.S. Nordic Combined Team: Three events and four medals. Not to bad! ; - ) |

The only sad part though was that the jumping was a big travesty, with extremely variable conditions, even after restarting the event after 35 jumps: Some got very lucky (Grüber?), many were more or less OK, and some got _very_ unlucky, like Magnus Moan and the French world cup leader (I won't even try to spell his name from memory!) who both had to start 2+ minutes behind, after very good jumps. (BTW, when they decided to restart the jumping, Norway had a double lead, in the second attempt both of those guys were more than a minute behind.)

Demong has been on verge of such a win, but too bad it was tainted by
the impossible jumping conditions that some of the top competitors faced.

Has anyone seen any nordic combined torrents come through?
I've got the mislabeled ski portion of the normal hill event. But I've been looking for the relay and large hill stuff and haven't come across anything. Basil doesn't appear to be following it. Bob Schwartz |

To follow that up, see
http://fasterskier.com/2010/02/europ...-noco-jumping/ "“Had this been a World Cup event, they would have cancelled today, and used the provisional jump,” said Dave Jarrett, the head coach of the American nordic combined team. At the Olympics, though, no provisional jump is held, and Jarrett said that yesterday’s bad weather would have precluded one, anyway. As for a delay or postponement, Jarrett said many teams have flights scheduled for tomorrow—and that cluttered television lineups give officials little choice but to push ahead. “The T.V. drives the times,” he said. “When you have the Olympics on such a tight schedule, that doesn’t leave much room for error.” Gene |

I obviously got the abbreviation wrong, but according to Sustain Resources 'AUS' it not the abbreviation for any country. It would have simply been easier if the U.S. had just swept the podium. ; - ) FWIW: AT = Austria AU = Australia |
