ASPEN, CO (Jan. 23. 2015)—It was a jam-packed day on the snowboardcross course at X Games. Beneath bluebird skies and in front of throngs of fans, the men’s and women’s snowboardcross fields raced on Friday afternoon in Aspen, Colorado. In the end, the U.S. Snowboard Team walked away with two medals—a gold in the women’s competition and a bronze in the men’s race. Standing on the X Games podium was nothing new for both medal winners. Lindsey Jacobellis (Stratton Mountain, VT) won gold in the women’s field and Nate Holland (Squaw Valley, CA) won the bronze on the men’s side.

The International Olympic Committee’s Youth Olympic Games offers a competitive venue for young athletes to not only compete, but also participate in a Learn & Share program designed to inspire and empower youth.

Lindsey Vonn stood at the top of Engiadina looking out at the expanse of Swiss alpine peaks in every direction. It was a scenario she had been a part of many times before - her seventh World Championships. Now 32 years old, the then Lindsey Kildow was just 17 when she pushed into the same start for her very first European World Cup downhill at St. Moritz in 2001. She finished 57th out of 64 starters that day.

As Bryan Fletcher battled for the lead at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships last March in Sweden, his mind kept racing back to that day as a 6-year-old cancer victim in Steamboat Springs when he finally convinced mom to let him ski jump. Bryan finished fifth in Falun – another milestone to go with his 2012 King’s Cup win, a 2013 World Championships team bronze and competing at the 2014 Olympics in Sochi.

As proud as he is of those accomplishments as a nordic combined athlete, it pales when he thinks of it in perspective to his being a childhood cancer survivor.
