Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremonies Schedule Listing Bode Miller Reminiscent Of Phil Mahre Video

Vancouver – The Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremonies are set to begin with downhill skiing in the spotlight.  Recent revelations of Lindsey Vonn’s leg injury are overshadowing what may be a big Olympic comeback story.

Back in September Bode Miller announced he would make a comeback in the 2010 Olympics. 

Miller cut short last season and debated retirement over the summer before deciding on a full-fledged return in September.

“The Olympics played a pretty important role in that decision,” Miller said Wednesday as he prepares for his fourth games. “If it was just a regular season I probably would have taken the season off and re-evaluated next year.”

Miller said he was motivated by the thought that by starting his preparations so late — September — he would be peaking just in time for the games.

“If I started then and worked and hammered through it would be something new and exciting and I would be peaking in February,” he said “It sort of sorted itself out rather than me making any conscious decisions about it.”

Bode Miller is reminiscent of Phil Mahre as a dominant ski star for the United States Olympic Team in the late 1970′s early 1980′s.  He achieved silver medals in the 1980 in Lake Placid and 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo.
