Just when you thought Bode Miller may have lapsed into the upcoming Olympics without a World Cup win, he did it. Amazing.
Granted, it was at Wengen, on one of Miller’s favorite downhill tracks – the famed Lauberhorn. Remember? It’s where he crashed off the final jump and still won in 2007? Watch that here. In fact, he won the downhill there in 2008 and was second on the track in 2009.

But today’s race was a super combined, which consists of one run of downhill and one run of slalom. Miller finished 13th in a slalom at Adelboden last week, so in hindsight we could have seen it coming. You know what they say about hindsight vision!

“I feel like I have a setup now in all four events where I can be a threat to win and be on the podium,” Miller said. “It’s been a long time since I really felt like that.”

The win is Miller’s first since March 2008 (Kvitfjell, Norway) and it proves  he’s still a constant threat, especially heading into Vancouver.

“It was a great day for me just that in I made a breakthrough in my equipment,” Miller said. “It’s been a frustrating season a little bit because we haven’t had very consistent conditions, and I was so far behind at the beginning of the year with no testing all summer. I didn’t even ski until September, so we’ve been kind of plugging away and trying to figure out all the different things in all four events, and today was the first day that I had a downhill setup that I really felt that I could win on.”

Can we talk about how much he’s offering to the press? It’s great. This is Miller on a mission. I’m gonna say we’re in for a show come Vancouver time.
