VIKERSUND, Norway (March 15) - World Champion Billy Demong ended the season Sunday with a strong win in the final DKB FIS Nordic Combined World Cup in Norway, winning the prestigious King's Cup, one of the sport's top honors. It was his fifth win of the season and eighth of his career.
Demong was presented with the King's Cup in the private viewing box of Norway's King Harald V, who attended all of Sunday's events in Vikersund, west of Oslo. The Cup was also won by American John Bower in 1968 and is considered one of the highest honors in nordic combined.
