Men's Super G results
Very nice Bode and Daron! A tie for 1st!!! On top of putting Bode in a
very good position for the overall, the win also gives Bode the SG Globe as Hermann did not have a good day and lost the SG points lead: http://www.skiracing.com/news/news_d...hp/2349/ALPINE -- Marty |

Miller can ski conservatively in finish in the points (top 15) in the last GS and cop the Overall. But the temptation is to go for the win and maybe cop the GS title, with the risk of losing the Overall if he crashes out. A conundrum. What's his choice, folks? |

But that is a big if... |

There's no honor in not trying to win both the race and the overall. On the other hand, how will going for the win and losing the overall through a crash effect his future $pon$or potential? I'm guessing that he will ski conservatively (even if only subconsciously) for the win and the overall, and we'll see a top 3 finish. |

Sounds like he went all out for the GS win (and the GS Globe) but didn't quite make it, finishing second - still collecting the Overall win. Quite a chance to take, IMO, considering how many DNFs he's had this season. |

Apparently, he cares an awful lot less for "$pon$or potential" than most people assume he does. "I have to find the motivation. If it's to become more famous than I am, I have no interest in that. If it's to earn more money, i have no interest in that. If it's the pure atmosphere, I have in interest in that. I have some experience [two Olympics], I have Olympic medals. I'm questioning where the motivation is going to come from... If it's to prove I'm the best ski racer, I think I've proved that this year..."
