STOCKHOLM, Sweden — The Nordic Combined athletes on the USA Nordic Team had some serious fun while wind tunnel training in Sweden this week.

USA Nordic, sponsored by Backcountry and based out of Park City, is preparing its nordic combined and ski jumping athletes for this winter’s Beijing 2022 Olympic Games.

Park City resident Jared Shumate posted these two videos on social media, one on skis and one in a wingsuit.
