Bode Miller is an Olympic gold medal hero.
Cumbersome. Awesomely impractical.
Who wanted to see this comeback? In addition to the NBC combined opted to Mr. Miller's historic Super victory show of course on tape delay a few hours later. That's cool. As the NFL taught us nobody wants ago you see live sport on a Sunday afternoon.
Still, Mr. Müller persevered - and now a restless takes place in Olympic history. It is an amusing coat for a dissident who like, to give less, if care was breakfast Wheaties with his unshaven, came naive visage on five mysticism of ring. Mr Miller a gold medal is strange, funny how Leonard Cohen a MTV Video Music Awards - pairing somehow feel all right.
The victory at Whistler was suitable bode-licious. Mr. Müller, who have dug a seventh place hole after a subpar downhill; only make the podium, would be a challenge. But in the slalom portion of the super combination, Mr. Müller - forever connected with an aggressive edge of sanity style - fearless unleashes itself. He took the lead prusten crossed the finish line. After Aksel Svindal Norway Skiied from the course and failed to finish, was bode of the Narrator suddenly the rugged unlikely face of this Vancouver games.

How blew he before American in favour of his own unorthodox one-man operation. How he threw a chance at fame in 2006 in Turin by a few late night Peronis.
Mr. contained as its East Coast homeboy Walt Whitman Miller multitudes. He was great and even contradicted. He was a nonconformist who graced magazine covers. an outsider draped in a Nike deal. The media helped the mythology portrays young away from the sports fundamentals or inch fuel by Mr. Miller as an autodidact mountain. Part shaman, Jeff Spicoli, Mr. Miller would be his ski size was a question of the moment, a State that could be defined by hardware such as medals, part.
The U.S. hockey team defeated Canada 5-3, 30 years after the "miracle on ice". WSJ's Kevin Helliker breaks the game for Kelsey Hubbard. Plus, Bode Miller finally gets his gold while Apolo Ohno of the most decorated winter American athlete. And Maksim Chmerkovskiy explains how the ice dancing comparison with "Dancing with the Stars".But now, after years of dominance on the World Cup circuit, he has the single price, who really missed it. He can deny it, but the rebels finally found his cause. We believe that Hollywood's already working on a screenplay Bode Miller and Vince Vaughn moves on big bear to train.
Truthfully, was the whole idea of the bode the rebels starting to feel too overcooked. Not to mention age and paternity - a summer spent appeared away from training, to mitigate the 32 year old, he grew up in Swiss francs, n.h had back on better terms with the American team already won a silver and bronze in this play, and happy in the role of wily, seemed to have fallen creaky veteran: Ed Asner with glasses. Sometimes he could find birthday are friendly chat with journalists about his 2-year-old daughter's or how he was inspired by Lindsey Vonn's performance. He was not about to turn into Ryan Seacrest but grin had this infamous bode was replaced by a smile.
Thirty years after the disappointment in Lake Placid, provided Mr. Miller a miracle of Nice.
However after a rocky start, these games are by sweet is stored. The athletes who beguiling was Vancouver and the world have are soft, sweet, and - of the Vince Lombardi's favorite terms to steal - Snuggletastic.
You take that yawning coin hoarder, Apolo Ohno, who our Saturday evening under their spell. If you ignore that hairy he inexplicably adheres Caterpillar to his Chin he is cuter than a basket full of stray koalas. Or how about Mrs Vonn, America's newest ski heroine? You can it have re-vamped for Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, but radiates more Aniston as Angelina.
Even our millionaire hockey players are likeable - and roles like you there in a stunning 5-3-victory on Sunday over Canada behind 42 stores from other Miller, goalkeeper Ryan.
And the United States is not provide only lovable idols on these games. It is the mop-haired Gold winning of Dutch speed skater mark Tuitert, of how the journal Adam Thompson made easy a Robert Pattinson could win double contest in a strip mall. It is the bespectacled, lanky Swiss Simon Ammann - a double gold medal winner in ski jumping - Harry Potter who was nicknamed because he won two golds in Salt Lake City.
Cuteness is sugar-coating the TV coverage of these games, although you probably chose that of the 23,000 or so commercials NBC for the animated movie "how to train your Dragon." has run
On Sunday night, which the USA Canada hockey game - a marooned stir Peacock - affair, as it turned out - show up on MSNBC in favor of ice dancing, a sport, show that illegally, in a Canadian bar remains.
But the universe is not of the hockey fans, especially in 2010. The universe in these days is run girls by 14-year-old - free spending, trend-setting, social media IZING girls - and 14-year-old would prefer to see girls, Mr. of Pattinson's shaved head bald as two-plus hours to watch the provisional hockey.
You are not completely wrong. But we can not allow this cute get Olympics too cute. We are a friendly Bode Miller and we have a feeling that Mr. Müller is OK with its gold medal. But we're a little concerned about this 14 year old Facebook petition to replace Bob Costas, Justin Bieber and Al Michaels with a really cute Guinea pig named Snickers.
