Old News: The first Hoosier to win gold at the Winter Olympics

Driving the (old) news: Lawrenceburg's Justin Schoenefeld made history four years ago when he helped the U.S. secure victory in the inaugural mixed team aerials freestyle skiing event.

• He shared the honor with teammates Ashley Caldwell — now his wife — and Chris Lillis.

What he said: "I haven't stopped smiling for like 30 minutes and my cheeks are starting to get sore, but it's seriously the greatest feeling," he said. I just won the biggest competition in the world, especially with two of my best friends."

Fun fact: Schoenefeld grew up skiing with fellow Hoosier winter Olympian Nick Goepper at southern Indiana's Perfect North Slopes.

What's next: Goepper, who has won two silver medals and one bronze in his three previous Olympic outings, is representing Indiana as the sole Hoosier heading to Milano-Cortina 2026.
