Spillane is a world champion and three-time Olympic silver medalist. He announced his retirement for Nordic combined April 18, 2013. ==Early life== Spillane was born to Jim and Nancy Spillane on November 24, 1980. He was raised in Steamboat Springs, Colorado and graduated from the Lowell Whiteman School. As a child, he lived only blocks from Howelsen Hill, where he saw ski jumping for the first time and became interested in trying the sport. Despite his early interest, and the fact that he first began skiing at the age of 2, he did not try ski jumping until he was 11. For the first couple years, he used alpine skis on jumps, not getting his first pair of jumping skis until he was 13. Johnny married wife Hilary, a photographer and designer in 2008. They welcomed first daughter Hadley in 2010, and second daughter Genevieve in 2012. Johnny is the brother to legendary Yampa-Valley fly-fisherman, Sam Spillane, known locally as "Dingleberry Gary". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Johnny Spillane」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
