Bode Miller to ski at the 2010 Winter Olympics
Two-time world champion, Bode Miller, announced he is rejoining the US Ski team in an effort to qualify for the 2010 Winter Olyimpics in Vancouver (all skiing events will be held at Whistler) Miller, undoubtely one of the best and most recognizable skiers, left the US Ski Team in 2007.
He was constantly getting heat from the US Ski Team for his late night partying (Nice!) and outspoken comments about the team. It back fired on him at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy, when he failed to medal in any event (downhill, Slalom and GS) although the heavy favorite. He was all over the media during the olympic coverage and decided to stay outside of the Olympic village in an RV, where there were reports Bode was out partying until the wee hours. Basically this was what caused the rift and eventual reason for him leaving the team.
He still has to qualify to ski in the Olympics, which shouldnt be to difficult for him to do.
This is great for all party’s involved. Bode is way high profile and lends this Olympics some star power. I for one am pumped and cant wait to see these guys barreling down Dave Murray Downhill up in Whistler.
