Famed downhill skier Bode Miller finally got his Olympic gold after an uphill struggle Five medals later, Bode now carries the title of Most Medals Won by a downhill skier in the Winter Olympics. This is sports psychology at its best knowing what you want and not accepting anything less.
There was a time a few years back when everyone doubted whether Bode Miller would ever "conform" to the standards or meet the demands of a true Olympic athlete. Winning two silver medals at the 2002 Winter Olympics, he returned in 2006 and offered up some less than stellar performances at the games. The press and media in general relentlessly pounded him and harshly judged him based on his comments, his cavalier attitude, and what some called his "party boy" approach to the games. Bode says that he found all the negative press to be "really draining on my inspiration, my level of passion"
Bode Miller left the US Olympic team in 2007. But in October of 2009 he announced his return to the team. When asked why he was coming back he said, "Most likely it's because I decided that's what I wanted to do." So, with a renewed commitment to himself and his sport, Bode Miller returned to the Winter Olympics. And, oh what a comeback it's been!
Apparently, Bode found his inspiration and his passion that had slipped away from him 4 years ago, allowing him to make his decision about what he wanted to do While Bode Miller remains a somewhat irreverent soul, after his downhill performances at these Vancouver games, everyone must agree that he truly is an outstanding Olympic athlete.
Bode Miller's path to history and gold;

* Commitment
Miller said, " it's an absolutely amazing feeling when you ... magically ski at your absolute best"
