If they ran the race again today, anyone of the top ten could come in first.
True, but Red Englander sports fans shouldn't count their chickens before they hatch.
The fact is Bode Miller is past his prime. He is getting old. The number one downhill skier in the world was not in the top 10 of the downhill this year. Miller was in the lead on the top of the mountain and lost time on the bottom. It literally could be the line he took around one gate or getting too much air off a jump. Again I stress the difference was less than 1 second. The guy from Austria who won, was not even considered to be in the running. That is what makes the Men's Downhill the most exciting event to watch. It is typically the guy who ALMOST kills himself that wins. You never know who will win.
Especially long-suffering Red Sox fans. ;)
