Samuel Bode Miller (born October 12, 1977 in Easton , New Hampshire ), exclusively called Bode Miller [ ˈboʊdiː ˈmɪləɹ ], is a former American ski racer . He competed in all disciplines in the Alpine Ski World Cup , making him one of the few "all-rounders" and the most successful ski racer in his country. At the 2010 Winter Olympics , Miller was the Combined Olympic Champion . He also won four world titles in four different disciplines (combined and giant slalom in 2003, super-G and downhill in 2005), plus five other Olympic medals and one additional world championship medal. In the 2004/05 and 2007/08 winters , Miller won the overall ranking of the World Cup . He was also able to win the Super G World Cup twice, the Combination World Cup three times and the Giant Slalom World Cup once. He is one of only five ski racers who have achieved victories in all five alpine disciplines and so far the only one who has achieved this at least five times in each discipline. Miller has the reputation of a rebellious "bad boy", was known for his risky driving style and is considered eccentric.

biography

Childhood and youth

Samuel Bode Miller was born on October 12, 1977 in Tamarack, a village near Franconia , in the White Mountains of northern New Hampshire . His mother Joanne "Jo" Kenney comes from this area, where her parents opened a tennis camp and a ski hut after the Second World War , both of which are still run by the family today. Miller's father, Woody, dropped out of Medicine at the University of Vermont and built a wooden house ( Tamarack Lodge ) with Bode's mother off the road, where they raised four children without electricity or running water. Miller has an older sister, Kyla, a younger sister, Genesis Wren, and a younger brother, the late professional snowboarder Chelone Miller , named Chilly. The hippie family initially lived on the 1.8 km² forest property , according to Miller's own statement, “like 100 years ago” : They grew vegetables, cut firewood, and harvested sugar maple sap. The children were taught by their parents themselves.

Miller learned to ski when he was two and spent most of his time at the nearby Cannon Mountain ski area . As a child he expressed his desire to become an athlete and also showed talent in football, golf and tennis. So he won the New Hampshire Youth Tennis Championship. However, after his grandmother Peg Taylor was already a member of the US ski team and one of his uncles was also active in the European Ski Cup for a short time, Miller concentrated on winter sports.

After the separation of the Miller parents, they gave up the wooden hut in the forest and moved with their children to the village, where they ran the tennis camp as a blended family and Bode and his siblings now attended the public school. Miller later received a scholarship from an acquaintance of his mother's to the Carrabassett Valley Academy , a high school in Sugarloaf , Maine with an extensive winter sports sponsorship program. From 1992, when he was 15 years old, he began to participate in FIS races . Miller had an unconventional driving style, which he only slightly adapted in later years: he leaned back in his ski boots and thus cushioned the turns that he was driving too fast. Although he was often eliminated with this risky driving style, his excellent athleticism made him one of the best when he made it to the finish. In his last year of school he got into conversation with a developer from the ski company K2 . The company experimented with tailored skis that were more in line with his ideas of a snowboard- like driving style. Miller entered 1996 with a new model to the US Junior Championships in Sugarloaf. There he won the championship titles in downhill, super-G and giant slalom, while he finished second in slalom. With these successes, he made a significant contribution to the fact that carving skis prevailed among racers and were no longer restricted to the freeride scene.

First years in the World Cup

In the winter of 1996/97 Miller won several FIS races and also regularly achieved good results in the Nor-Am Cup . On November 20, 1997 he made his debut in the World Cup ; Surprisingly, he finished 11th in the Park City giant slalom , winning World Cup points in his very first race. In the further course of the 1997/98 season , he was only able to classify himself one more time in the points because he was still too inconsistent and too daring. Also when he participated in the Olympic Games for the first time, in 1998 in Nagano , he was eliminated in both giant slalom and slalom. In contrast, he achieved four victories in the Nor-Am Cup, and he also won his first US championship title.

Also in the 1998/99 season , Miller was noticeable for his lack of consistency and cemented his reputation as a boisterous "crash pilot". In over half of the World Cup races he started, he couldn't achieve a countable result. On the other hand, there were also isolated top results; so he finished fourth in the slaloms of Wengen and Ofterschwang . His best result at the 1999 World Championships in Vail / Beaver Creek was eighth in the slalom.

Miller was still unable to reduce his high failure rate in the 1999/2000 season . He was only able to place himself in five of 22 World Cup races, the best result by far was a 12th place. In the 2000/01 season he was finally able to reduce his failure rate significantly. He achieved his first World Cup podium on December 17, 2000 in the giant slalom in Val-d'Isère . At the 2001 World Championships in St. Anton am Arlberg , Miller was considered a promising candidate for a medal after finishing fourth in the combined slalom. In the combined descent on the following day, he led after the first intermediate time, but then fell badly. He suffered a cruciate ligament rupture and had to end the season early.

Establishment at the top of the world

From the 2001/02 season at the latest , Miller was one of the world's best ski racers. On December 9, 2001, he celebrated his first World Cup victory in the giant slalom in Val-d'Isère, the second followed just one day later in the slalom in Madonna di Campiglio . After winning two more slaloms, he was one of the most popular favorites ahead of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City . Miller lived up to expectations and was able to win a silver medal in the combined and in the giant slalom. In the World Cup, at the end of the season, he finished second in the slalom ranking and fourth in the overall ranking.

Miller's stated goal for the 2002/03 season was to win the overall World Cup standings. With consistently good results in all disciplines - including downhill runs and Super-Gs, he was now regularly among the top ten - he led the ranking in the first half of the season. Further victories were added in two giant slaloms around the turn of the year. Miller was particularly successful at the 2003 World Championships in St. Moritz , where he won three medals: After silver in the Super-G (at the same time as Hermann Maier ), he became world champion in combined and giant slalom. After the World Championship, Miller slacked off a bit and had to let Stephan Eberharter pass him in the overall standings. But for the first time he was able to win one discipline classification: the combination.

Even before the start of the 2003/04 season , Miller was one of the favorites to win the overall World Cup. At the beginning of winter he won two giant slaloms. But then he had to accept several failures. It was not until mid-January 2004 that he was able to build on his successes at the beginning of the season. He won two combinations as well as a slalom and a giant slalom. The numerous failures in the first half of the season meant that Miller finished fourth in the overall standings, just 131 points behind Hermann Maier. But it was enough to win the discipline rankings in the combination and in the giant slalom.

Triumphs and defeats

Miller in the first run of the giant slalom of the 2006 Winter Olympics

In the first ten races of the 2004/05 season , Miller was six times winner on the podium, once he came second. On the last weekend in November 2004, he won a downhill run and a Super-G for the first time in Lake Louise . He was promoted to the small group of ski racers who were able to celebrate World Cup victories in all five disciplines . He was also the first man in World Cup history to win the first three races of the season. There was another record when he won four times in four different disciplines between November 27th and December 13th, i.e. within just 16 days, which no one had ever achieved before. At the 2005 World Championships in Bormio , Miller won gold in both downhill and super-G. He caused a stir in the combined descent: a few seconds after the start he lost his left ski, but went down the Pista Stelvio with just one ski for almost two minutes and only fell shortly before the finish. With a total of seven wins and seven further podium places, Miller secured the overall World Cup ranking for the first time, in which he was also in the lead throughout the season, as well as the Super G discipline ranking. He was also awarded the Skieur d'Or for his achievements .

Miller could not build on the performances of the pre-winter season in the 2005/06 season. In twelve of 31 races he competed in, he was eliminated; in the slalom he achieved only two countable results. Despite these setbacks, he was able to win two races, a giant slalom and a super-G. The 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin were disappointing for him : he narrowly missed the medals in the downhill and slalom; in the combination he was in the lead after the downhill run, but he awarded the gold medal by a threading in the slalom. He made headlines in particular with his extravagant nightlife in the bars of the Olympic racing town of Sestriere . At the end of winter he was in third place in the overall World Cup standings.

The failure rate remained high in the 2006/07 season , with 14 failures in 35 races. In his former favorite discipline, slalom, Miller did not get past 23rd place. In the giant slalom, however, he was still among the world's best with two podium places. He was most successful with two victories each in the downhill and super-G disciplines. At the 2007 World Championships in Åre he was without a medal, the best result was 6th place in the super combined. For the second time after 2005 he won the Super G discipline of the World Cup.

Private team and Olympic victory

Miller in Val Gardena 2008

Miller separated from the structures of the US Ski Association in May 2007 because he no longer wanted to submit to the strict rules of conduct. He was also prohibited from staying overnight in his mobile home as usual at the competition sites . In response, he founded the privately financed Team Bode America with its own support staff, but continued to run for the United States. This approach paid off in the 2007/08 season . Although he continued to weaken in slalom, he dominated the combined competitions almost at will: Miller won three of the five races held and was never worse than fourth. This winter there were also three downhill victories, making him the first ski racer to have at least five victories in all five disciplines in the course of his career. With his victory in the downhill run on the Lauberhorn on January 13th, he set the previous record set by Phil Mahre for the US men of 27 World Cup victories. Even before the last race of the winter, he was the overall World Cup winner for the second time, and he also secured the combined discipline classification.

Miller during the departure of the 2010 Winter Olympics

The 2008/09 season was not very successful . Isolated successes in the downhill and slalom were again countered by numerous failures (in twelve of 27 races). The 2009 World Championships in Val-d'Isère were also disappointing with 8th place in the downhill and 12th in the Super-G, followed by three further failures in the super combined, giant slalom and slalom. Immediately afterwards Miller decided to forego the remaining World Cup races of the season and to take a break. The surprising reason he gave was that a year earlier he had become the father of a daughter (which had previously remained largely a secret). After several months of speculation in the media about a possible resignation, at the end of September 2009 he announced the dissolution of his private team and the return to the US ski association, with whose officials he had found an amicable solution.

Miller had trained very little in the summer months, which is why he had physical deficiencies at the beginning of winter 2009/10 . In the first five races of the season, he only got two World Cup points. This was followed by several good results in downhill runs and super-G races. In mid-January he achieved his first World Cup victory after almost two years, which unexpectedly made him one of the favorites again shortly before the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver . In contrast to four years earlier in Turin, he was able to live up to expectations: the bronze medal in the downhill was followed by the silver medal in the Super-G. Finally, he also won the gold medal in the super combined. If he had also achieved a podium position in the final slalom, he would have been the first ski racer ever to have won Olympic medals in all five disciplines. Due to an ankle injury, he did without the rest of the World Cup races this winter.

Towards the end of your career

The 2010/11 season was quite mixed. The usual high number of failures in slalom and giant slalom was offset by three podium places. At the 2011 World Championships in Garmisch-Partenkirchen , Miller could not build on the success of the Olympic Games, two twelfth places were his best results. For the third time in a row he did without the last World Cup races of the season. The reason he gave was to want to spend more time with his daughter. The 2011/12 season was somewhat more successful, with a total of four podium finishes, including his last World Cup victory so far, which he achieved on the Beaver Creek Downhill in early December. Due to ailments in his left knee, he had to end the season at the end of February.

Miller in Sölden (2013)

The arthroscopy that had become necessary prompted Miller to skip the 2012/13 season completely and concentrate on his last major career goal, the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi . He contested the first race of the 2013/14 season in Sölden, where he finished 19th. In the Super-G of Lake Louise, he finished 16th. On December 8, 2013, he achieved his first podium finish in more than 22 months when he surprisingly came second in the giant slalom at Beaver Creek; this was also his first giant slalom podium since March 2007. On the downhill run on the Streif in Kitzbühel on January 25, 2014, he finished third after outclassing his competitors in training. A day later he came second in the Super-G there. In Sochi he was one of the favorites of the Olympic downhill after several best times in training, but only finished eighth. In the Super-G he won a bronze medal at the same time as Jan Hudec . At the World Cup finals in Lenzerheide , Miller achieved a 3rd place in the Super-G, which is the same as his 4th podium of the season. He announced that he would play another season.

In the 2014/15 season , Miller was unable to contest a single World Cup race due to back surgery. In preparation for the home World Cup , however, he took part in downhill training in Wengen and Kitzbühel, where he achieved quite satisfactory results. On February 5, 2015 Miller dared his racing comeback at the World Cup Super-G in Beaver Creek . With the best of the last interim he got stuck on a gate pole, whereupon it twisted him and he fell so badly that he got a deep cut below the hollow of his right knee. The diagnosis showed a ruptured muscle tendon, which was operated on the same day and which prevented him from competing in the other World Cup competitions.

For a long time it was uncertain whether Miller would try a comeback again, especially since his statements and actions were contradictory. In September 2015, he prematurely terminated his equipment contract with Head and gave the reason that he wanted to take a break. In fact, he didn't drive a single race in the 2015/16 season and instead worked as an expert for NBC television . However, he was still listed as an active athlete in the FIS database . There were also rumors that he could return to the Ski World Cup in 2016/17 - with the ski brand Bomber , which he was involved in developing. At the beginning of the 2017/18 season, Miller was no longer listed in the roster of the US Ski Association. A few days after he had ruled out a comeback "90 percent", he finally announced his resignation on October 31, 2017.

Personal

image

Miller is perceived in the European sports press in a more benevolent sense as an eccentric and rebellious free spirit who defies the usual conventions. His preference for parties gives him the image of a non-conformist “rock star on snow and ice”. In contrast, it is perceived rather negatively in the US sports press. The Chicago Tribune described him as an "annoying bore who tends to make hypocritical statements". The Denver Post's assessment is also unflattering : "His behavior has alienated him from practically everyone, except those who thoughtlessly rebels simply celebrate because of their rebellion."

The less positive reactions in the USA are mainly due to his seemingly unmotivated behavior before and during the 2006 Winter Olympics. In January 2006, Miller admitted on the television show 60 Minutes that he had driven under the influence of alcohol and that it was possible that he would continue to do so. Before leaving for Turin, he said, “Maybe I'll just go there, have a party and drink beer.” After failing to win medals in all five races, he said that these had been “two great weeks” and that he was “up Olympic level to celebrate and socialize ”. Thereupon Miller had to put up with the accusation in the media that he had been without any respect and motivation for the games. The San Francisco Chronicle even described it as "the greatest bankruptcy in Olympic history".

He succeeded in correcting his image as a mouth hero and “bad boy” with his Olympic success four years later. Miller stressed that he hated his role as a figurehead in Turin in 2006; the hype stole his inspiration and passion back then. He explained his success in Vancouver by saying that he was now under much less pressure and just had fun skiing.

Controversial statements

Miller is known for being very direct and for spreading controversial opinions in the media. He often criticizes the actions of sports officials or decisions by various associations that, in his view, represent undesirable developments. For the first time in October 2005 he demanded the release of doping in alpine ski racing: For example, taking EPO could increase the safety of the racers, as they would be less exhausted towards the end of a run and thus less dangerous accidents would occur. A month later, Miller tightened his statements, stating that the World Anti-Doping Agency's concept was "sick and hypocritical." In his opinion, security and not fairness should be in the foreground. He also complained about the systematic violation of the athletes' privacy by doping control officers. In November 2007, he reiterated his call for a realignment of anti-doping policy and described doping tests as a waste of money and time.

Before the first race of the season 2007/08 criticized Miller the International Ski Federation FIS and accused him he would not violently enough for racing safety of the athletes. Serious accidents (e.g. those of Scott Macartney and Matthias Lanzinger ) would be accepted by the FIS, for which encrusted association structures are responsible. Miller made further sharp criticism of the (from his point of view incompetent) functionaries of the FIS in October 2011. His displeasure was with a new material regulation, which was finally introduced at the beginning of the 2012/13 season and is intended to reduce the risk of accidents with a smaller skis. Miller described the measure as unsuitable and demanded that one should better start with the ski bindings . He also stated that from 1999 to 2003 equipment in ski racing had been at its peak and since then everything had developed in the wrong direction.

other activities

Miller as a baseball player for Nashua Pride (2007)

Miller and his friend Jack McEnany wrote the autobiography Bode: Go Fast, Be Good, Have Fun , which was published in October 2005 by Villard Books / Random House . In the same year the documentary Flying Downhill with Bode Miller was published, which shows him in his daily training routine and goes into more detail about his environment and his attitude to life. Miller was also the first American ski racer since Tommy Moe , the namesake of a computer game : Bode Miller Alpine Racing was released in January 2006, initially for mobile phones, later also for PlayStation 2 and Windows .

Miller is a passionate golfer and participates in charity tournaments for cancer charities. In 2005 he and relatives founded the Turtle Ridge Foundation , a foundation that supports environmental protection projects and social institutions. As a fundraising event, he organizes the BodeBash , a combined tennis and golf tournament, every year . From 2006 to 2008 Miller played a baseball game each year for Nashua Pride , a team in the semi-professional Canadian-American League; the proceeds from ticket sales also went to charity.

In June 2010, Miller put his tennis skills to the test and participated in a qualifying tournament organized by the United States Tennis Association . As a tournament winner, he would have had the chance to win a wildcard for the US Open in another tournament . At the tournament in Waipahu , however, he had to admit defeat in two sets in the first round. Another area of ​​interest Miller is horse racing : since 2012 he is co-owner of a racehorse called Carving .

Relationships

Miller is the father of a daughter who was born in February 2008 and came from a brief, temporary love affair. In October 2012, he married in San Diego , the beach volleyball -Spielerin Morgan Beck. Three months later, he announced that his wife had miscarried . In March 2013, Miller became involved in a custody battle. The applicant is the model Sara McKenna, with whom he had a brief relationship before Beck. McKenna, who had become the mother of a son a month earlier, publicly accused Miller of having an alcohol and drug problem. He suffered another stroke of fate in April 2013 when his younger brother Chelone Miller , a professional snowboard crosser , died of a stroke. Miller and his wife have been parents to a son since May 2015. The daughter, born in 2016, drowned in a pool in June 2018 at the age of 19 months. In October 2018, Miller and his wife became parents of another son; twin sons followed in November 2019.
