Years of hard work finally paid-off for Vermontville-native Billy Demong Thursday, as he out-skied everyone to take the gold in the men's large-hill Nordic combined event.
The victory was even sweeter for Demong and Team USA, as long-time teammate Johnny Spillane crossed the finish line right behind Demong to take silver.
Demong skied the 10-kilometer course in 25 minutes, 32.9 seconds. Bernhard Gruber claimed the bronze, 10.8 seconds behind Demong.
Congratulations, Billy!
