UPDATE: Lake Placid’s Weibrecht wins bronze – first North Country medal

Andrew Weibrecht skied a monster run in the Super G today in Vancouver. He led the pack until being edged by teammate Bode Miller.

Both Americans were pushed aside by Norway’s Aksel Svindal.

It’s an amazing accomplishment for the 24-year-old Weibrecht, and hopefully will signal a strong weekend for the North Country’s athletes.
