3/2/98~ TIBURON, California (AP) -- 
Let the celebrations begin for Olympic champion Jonny Moseley, who 
returned home to a hero's welcome after winning a gold medal in Japan.
About 200 people held up banners and shouted accolades Sunday as the 
22-year-old skier leaped from a limousine that escorted him to his
family's house, which neighbors decorated with American flags. Tiburon
Mayor Harry Matthews presented him with a key to the San Francisco Bay
area city as a band played the Olympic anthem.  "It's so great to be 
surrounded by all the people that really mean a lot to me, "he told 
the gathering. "I'm glad I could bring home the gold for America, but
especially for you guys. Thanks for believing in me and supporting me. 
Let's party!"  Moseley used his trademark helicopter jump to capture 
the gold in the men's moguls last week. The win gave the United States
its first medal of the Nagano Games. He quickly got accustomed to his 
newfound fame,signing autographs for children and hiring an agent to 
handle a round of expected endorsements.  City officials hope to honor
Moseley with a parade, perhaps as early as next Sunday.  "We all 
watched him grow up, and we saw him practice. Now we're here to 
support our hometown boy," said neighbor Susan Hoehler.

2/26/98~ Jonny Moseley and his mother, Barbara Moseley, met 
President Clinton Wednesday (2/25/98).  Moseley also had a day named 
after him during Union Square ceremonies that afternoon.  On Saturday, 
Jonny will host a bash at Planet Hollywood in the South of Market 
district of San Francisco, and then a parade through his hometown of 
Tiburon on Sunday.  Jonny says: "It's a little hard on your cheekbones
-- you have to keep smiling so much. But I don't mind it. I have never
said once, 'I'm getting tired of this.' I'm enjoying every moment of 
this."  Jonny donated a pair of Olympic skis and poles for display at 
P.H., along with his US Ski Team jacket. In turn, Planet Hollywood 
will make a donation to the newly-created Jonny Moseley Foundation for
the Special Olympics.- San Fransico Examiner

2/22/98~  Olympic Gold medalist Jonny Moseley, who won the gold medal
last week in Men's moguls, performed two daring jumps off a giant ramp
in the theater district for a segment on "The Late Show with David 
Letterman."  Jumping off a 40-foot high by 60-foot ramp lined with 
plastic carpet, Moseley repeated his trademark helicopter jump that 
helped him earn the 1st gold medal for the US in Nagano.  He did a 360
degree spin in the air while grabbing one of his crossed skis, then 
landed on a huge air mattress in the middle of the street.  On his 2nd
leap, the 21 year old daredevil took off as a cannon across the ramp.  
He did both jumps during a downpour before hundreds of cheering fans 
next to the Ed Sullivan Theater, where the Letterman show is taped.  
"That was a lot scarier than Nagano." Moseley said - WIRE SERVICES
