Iron River's own Nick Baumgartner grabs gold alongside Lindsey Jacobellis!

U.S. snowboarders Nick Baumgartner (Iron County native) and Lindsey Jacobellis made history after winning gold at the mixed team snowboard cross event in Beijing.

The two made the record books for their win at the first-ever mixed team snowboard cross competition to be held at any Winter Games. But this accomplishment at their ages — Jacobellis is 36 and Baumgartner is 40 (older than the other snowboarders competing at this level) — makes their win all the more momentous.
