The American team is still racking up medals at Vancouver: Billy Demong and Johnny Spillane finished 1-2 in the Nordic Combined on Thursday. Demong’s gold was the first for the American team in Nordic sports. Austrian Bernhard Gruber won bronze. Other skiers complained about the conditions. “It’s a joke,” said one. “It’s like a lottery,” said another. ‘Some guys got good conditions, some other terrible conditions.”
