Biographical Information
Bode Miller is one of the most accomplished alpine skiers in history. He claimed a gold medal in the alpine combined at the Olympic Winter Games Vancouver 2010 and earned three medals at the same Games, leading Team USA to a record eight alpine medals in Vancouver.
Miller's success spanned multiple world championships, where he won back-to-back double golds in 2003 (giant slalom, Alpine combined) and 2005 (downhill, super-G). He also secured two FIS overall World Cup titles in 2005 and 2008. Miller is the only U.S. male skier to win world cup races in all five events—downhill, super-G, giant slalom, slalom and combined—accumulating 33 victories.
With six Olympic medals, he ranks second (behind Apolo Ohno) for the most individual Winter Olympic medals by any Team USA athlete. His decade-long success helped propel the U.S. Alpine Ski Team to its most successful era. Miller also founded the Turtle Ridge Foundation in 2005, focusing on grants for adaptive community and youth sports programs.
