World Sports

The American Nordic skiing team has won three gold metals, and one bronze metal at the world championships, trippleing its medal hall over the past 85 years. America's first gold this year, won by Todd Lodwick, was his first in six world championships and two olympics. In 2006 he retired from skiing, but when he saw what the US team was doing, he came out of retirement to train and participate in the World Championships.
