Beijing Winter Olympics will be second consecutive Games for Bickner
Wauconda native Kevin Bickner is heading back to the Winter Olympics. Bickner, 25, who grew up training with the Norge Ski Club in Fox River Grove, secured his spot on Team USA's ski jumping team on Christmas Day when he finished first at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Lake Placid, New York. He won the men's ski jumping trials Saturday by accumulating 257 points through two rounds, 13 ahead of Decker Dean.
