This particular race was very close with, Andrew Weibrecht sneaking into silver medal place at the last moment making for two Americans on the podium. This race really bolstered the medal count for the U.S. in Alpine skiing.

An Emotional Bode Miller,

United States skier Bode Miller spoke of his late younger brother after his sixth Olympic medal opened the emotional floodgates on Sunday.

The 36-year-old American’s equal third place in the super-G at the Sochi Games made him the oldest Alpine skier to win a medal.

Only one skier, Norway’s Kjetil-Andre Aamodt, has ever won more medals (eight) but those facts and figures were not uppermost in his mind at the finish as he tearfully struggled for composure.
