Bode Miller wins the Overall World Cup title again!

Once again Bode Miller has proved his critics wrong. After leaving the U.S. Ski Team to pursue his racing career privately, Miller arguably posted his best season to date winning the Overall, Super-Combined, and placing 2nd in the Downhill standings. He has won more World Cups than any other American skier and has shown that it's possible to be the best without the National Team's resources. As a former teammate I'm proud that he won on his own terms and is enjoying his career more than ever. The only accomplishment that alludes Miller's trophy room is an Olympic Gold...where he will have a shot in Vancouver 2010.

Hopefully, he can do it at the Olympics. I know it was a bitter disappoint for him the last time around.

Congrats to Bode.

I'm sure besides the thrill of winning, it is only that much greater knowing he did it his way...and yes more importantly that he is enjoying these moments.

congrads Bode! too bad they cancelled the last downhill.
