A great weekend for U.S men in Chamonix!


Skiers from the United States swept the top spots at both alpine events this past weekend in Chamonix, France. Now don't get confused; I didn't say that the U.S. Ski Team took both top spots 'cause in the era of Team America and a Bode-less USST, things can get a little wacky, but the fact of the matter is that Marco Sullivan, who has been long overdue, screamed to his first World Cup win in the downhill. On Sunday, Bode Miller won his 29th career race with a 1st in the super-combined. This was the second combined win in a row for Miller and put him back atop the overall WC standings, passing Austrian Benjamin Reich and Swiss downhiller Didier Cuche.
