After a standout amateur career he made his Olympic debut at the 1998 Nagano winter games and then competed at the 2002 Olympic games in Salt Lake City. In 2003 he established himself as a solid international competitor when he captured a gold medal in the 7.5 km sprint at the 2003 World Championships. Throughout he 2000’s he worked his way up to becoming one of the top cross-country and Nordic skiers in the world, and finally reached the podium at the 2010 Winter Olympic games in Vancouver, capturing three silver medals in the 10 km large hill, 10 km normal hill, and 4x5 km team events. After the 2010 Olympics he returned to the United States as an American hero and earned the right to call himself one of the best cross-country skiers in American history.
