Winter Olympics

Silver Medal for Bode Miller

Part of record-breaking U.S. ski team.

After walking away with the silver medal at Friday’s Super-G, Bode Miller is full of sound bites on his fellow U.S. skiers, who have already racked up their highest number of alpine medals at any single Winter Olympics. Asked to explain the team’s winning streak, Miller joked, “aside from the fact that we’re just much better than anybody else…” With this latest medal, Miller is now the first-ever U.S. skier to earn four Olympic medals over the course of the career and said, “All the big events, I’ve always done well in—when I decide that’s what I want to do.” Also in the spotlight is Miller’s teammate Lindsey Vonn, who won a gold medal in downhill. “It was ‘The Lindsey Vonn Show’ coming in, and now it’s turned into “The U.S. Ski Team Show’—and it’s really cool,” said teammate Marco Sullivan.
