Julia Marino of Westport and Tucker West of Ridgefield are among the athletes nominated for Team USA's Best of January. Click here to vote for your favorite.
Marino, 19, rocked the snowboarding world to its core last weekend by winning two medals at the X Games. Marino, making her X Games debut, won a gold medal Saturday in slopestyle to go with a bronze medal she won in Big Air. She became the first woman in 17 years to win two medals at the event, perhaps the most exclusive competition in all of snowboarding.
West won a silver medal with the mixed relay team at the World Luge Championships.
