This weekend will be a training competition for them as they compare their jumping ability with some of the toughest jumpers in the world. The Camerota twins, who many say were part of ski jumping in Park City from the day the local program started, are both looking to jump their best this weekend, even though the competition will not mean any points toward their overall season score. Headlining the Nordic combined squad are Olympians Todd Lodwick and Johnny Spillane. Lodwick is heading into what will be likely his fourth, and perhaps final, appearance in the Olympics. "I really want to achieve some goals I haven't in the past," Lodwick said.
