Another Voice Speaks Up.
"For him to go out and party, that's nothing new. He does that all the
time," Rahlves told the Reno Gazette-Journal. "He doesn't just do it at the Olympics, he does it all year." This simply proves that Bode's actions away from the hill and on the hill have nothing to do with the way he places in a race. You have two racers, both very different and both very successful on the World Cup. I already stated that had Bode stayed in his bus reading his Bible, that it would have done nothing for his results - same as if Daron would have gone out to party. Two different guys, very different lives, both are some of the best male ski racers in the world. Bode was simply trying to make a point and I think even Daron got it. -- Marty |

While they have always had distinct personalities and proclivities, one should also remember that Rahlves is older by a whole skiing generation, is married, and has his wife (and dog) along on the tour. (And AFAIK, he did go to the Londoner after his Hannenkamm victories.) Bode is younger and unmarred, and maybe the most eligible bachelor on the tour. |

At the Beaver Creek WC this year, we saw Daron in the village after the SG with a bunch of people. It was still pretty early because we were headed up for a few more runs. After the DH, we were in the village looking for a place to eat dinner, it was dark and Daron walked right past us again, this time alone with his wife. We never saw Bode after the races in BC. But, being old tired family guys, we were never out at the bars too late. :-) -- Marty |

He reportedly put himself in such a state of hurt that night that he couldn't ski well for _weeks_ afterwards. It's hilarious that he's being held up as a non-drinking contrast to Bode Miller. |
