• Career Highlights: Became the youngest skier ever named to a U.S. Olympic team when he qualified for the 2006 games in Turin, where he was a part of a large hill team that finished 14th. ... His career was in jeopardy after tearing up a knee last summer, but he qualified for his second Olympics with a strong finish this season. Returned to skiing in late November after an operation to replace his left ACL. "He was pronounced done by most medical folks. The kind of damage he did to his knee in late summer should have been a season-ending injury," U.S. Nordic director John Farra said. … Broke into the points twice at the Continental Cup in Japan from Jan. 8-10.
