friday, todd lodwick, gunning for a med al. he came in fourth. i think i may have slowed him down in his training when i profiled him a couple of weeks ago. johnny spillane, his teammate also of steamboat springs came in second with a silver. that is the first-ever nordic combined medal for the u.s. they ll come back in larger hill events and maybe todd will fair a little bit better. it was an exciting race to watch and history-making event for the u.s. it s not an easy sport. definitely not. they sure make it look easy. that s what world-class athletes do. they do things we can t and do them well and make them look incredibly easy. it s like, i can do that. no, i can t. thanks, rob. team u.s.a. off to a fantastic start. one skater is already making history. so far, america has more medals
