What is going on with Bode Miller? Is it distraction from too many television interviews? Was he just not really into these Olympics?
In a somewhat controversial decision, Miller was disqualified from today’s downhill combined when he straddled a gate. It took over 30 minutes of reviews to determine that he should be disqualified. Really, if it takes that long to figure it out, should it count? The disqualification placed Austria’s Benjamin Raich in first.
Miller seemed completely unruffled by the disqualification, which is fairly typical. The disqualification did leave American Ted Ligety in third place, with a good shot at a medal.
