There has been much talk about the U.S. Nordic combined team's hunt for a first-ever Olympic medal. The question in 2010 is when, not if, the U.S. will finally add its name to the list of Olympic medal-winners in the sport.

Last February, Austrian Felix Gottwald watched as the United States' Todd Lodwick made a successful comeback from his retirement, winning two world titles. After two years off himself, Gottwald now looks to add to his impressive Olympic medal haul.

Want to know what it takes to succeed in Nordic combined? World champion Bill Demong of the United States talks about the opposite body types that appeal to both ski jumping and cross-country skiing and how they mesh in the sport.

Even though the U.S. has never won an Olympic medal in Nordic combined, never before have expectations been so high. Head coach Dave Jarrett talks about how the team looks going into the Games and how the final relay spot will be decided.

Three world champions are already penned in as U.S. starters in the Nordic combined team event. A tough competition remains, however, between two other team members vying for the fourth roster spot and a chance at making history.
