Associated Press

IIZUNA KOGEN, Japan The United States won its first medal of the Nagano Olympics when Jonny Moseley bumped and jum ped his way to gold in the men’s moguls. Moseley, 22, of Tiburon, Calif., was the I last of the 16 competitors to dash down j the mogul field. He bounced through the bumps like a pinball and performed his signature “air” move: a 360 Mute Grab Jump in which he did a full “helicopter” rotation and grabbed his inside ski. The run earned him 26.93 points. The silver medal went to Finland’s Janne | Lahtela with 26.00 points and the bronze to another Finn, Sami Mustonen, | with 25.76. “ 1 got No. 1!” Moseley shouted when I he saw his winning score go up. “ I can’t believe it. Oh my God!” The moguls event is scored by judges, who count 50 percent for turns and 25
