Bode Miller tied for bronze and Andrew Weibrecht won silver in the men’s super-g during the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.
This was Miller’s last chance to medal in the sport of Alpine Skiing, and he was thrilled to be able to make the podium.
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,
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.
