Bode Miller continued to showcase his new-found maturity and competitive edge in Vancouver on Friday as he claimed the silver medal in the men’s super-G race.

Miller, who added to the bronze he scooped in the downhill earlier in the week, gave the United States its seventh multiple medal performance of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games. On a personal level, it made him America's most highly-decorated alpine skier of all time.

The alpine skier from Mont Tremblant, Que., has now competed in three races at two Olympic Games and finished fourth, fifth and fifth by margins thinner than a supermodel's waist, by distances shorter than the ski tip of his Rossignols.

Alpine Canada should make sure they take this guy's ski poles away so he has no opportunity to perform hara-kiri with them.

Thanks for this news since I haven’t been able to watch any olympics except for the Chinese couple winning the Figure Skating gold - which was a delight to see! They are a married couple - and were just spectacular!

Kudos to Bode Miller and to all the Americans who are doing so well in these Olympics.

And would you ping me when you post more Olympics news? Thanks!

There have been complaints registered against the girl from Great Britain because of a modification to her helmet.

The powers that be allowed the helmet but it does have some modifications that supposedly are more aerodynamic than the other helmets.
