In December, 2009, Dr. Chen travelled to Ramsau, Austria with the United States Nordic Combined Ski Team.  During three days of competition, four-time Olympian and current World Champion Todd Lodwick placed in the top 10 on all three days.  Three-time Olympian and 2009 World Champion Billy Demong placed in the top 10 in the first two competitions, and in the top 15 in the third race.  Two-time Olympain Johnny Spillane also placed in the top 10 in the first two competitions and in the top 15 in the third race after a disappointing misstep and fall in the final hill-climb.  Olympian Brett Camerota had his first ever top 10 finish in the Ski Jump, and skied to his first top 20 finish ever.  Olympic hopeful Brian Fletcher demonstrated excellent resolve as an upcoming athlete early in his World Cup career.  Dr. Chen treated athletes for minor injuries, and was instrumental in helping Billy Demong return to full level of competition.
