Demong 6th in Second Seefeld Sprint
By Juliann Fritz // U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association // January 28, 2008
SEEFELD, Austria (Jan. 27) - Bill Demong (Vermontville, NY) had the third-fastest 7.5K race Sunday and finished sixth in a World Cup event shortened by poor weather. Demong held onto second place in the overall points. Johnny Spillane (Steamboat Springs, CO) was 27th in a sprint won by Jason Lamy Chappuis of France.
Organizers originally scheduled an individual competition, two jumps and a 15K race. However, forecasts of nasty weather for Sunday convinced officials to stage one jump Saturday after the lone jump in a sprint (and before the 7.5K race was held). That jump was to be held for Sunday's competition, which eventually was trimmed to a second sprint because of unsafe, gusting winds.
