Olympic Gold Medalist Billy Demong to Help Kick off the Tour of the Battenkill!

We are proud to announce that Vancouver Olympic Gold Medalist Billy Demong will be a guest of the April event in Cambridge, NY. Demong, a native of Vermontville, NY won the gold medal in the Nordic Combined large hill competition and silver in the team competition along with teammates Johnny Spillane, Todd Lodwick, and Brett Camerotta. Demong’s gold – the first ever in the event for the US - also capped an historic Olympic Games for the US team as they captured the first ever medals by an American team in Nordic Combined. Before Vancouver, only 2 US athletes – Bill Koch’s silver in cross country skiing in 1976 and Anders Haugen’s bronze in ski jumping in 1924 – had ever won Olympic medals in any Nordic event (biathlon, ski jumping, Nordic combined and cross-country skiing).

Beginning on Saturday, April 17, Demong will ride the Tour of the Battenkill Ride2Recovery CycleFest non-competitive ride on the course at 9 AM. The Ride2Recovery CycleFest is a benefit ride for wounded & disabled war veterans and will be held the day before the professional invitational scheduled for Sunday, April 18 at 11 AM, where 22 teams from around the world will compete over 2 laps on the difficult, 62 mile course in Washington County, NY. Though he will not be competing in the race, Demong will also be present during the start of the professional invitational on Sunday to help kick off the international event. Demong is also an elite-level road cyclist and has competed in several national-level cycling events including the Tour of Utah, Tour of the Gila, and the Sea Otter Classic.
