Bode's run

Bode Miller made it exciting with his second run in today's giant slalom as he moved from 12th to first for a brief time.

Miller kept the lead for the next five skiers, raising the chance that he could get his first medal of the Games. Norway's Aksel Lund Svindal finally tied Miller's time and then they were both knocked off the podium as the final five competitors beat them.

Austria's Benjamin Raich took the gold followed by Joel Chenal of France and Hermann Maier of Austria.

Miller's second run was the fourth-fastest of the afternoon but not good enoug to overcome a slow start in the morning.

Still, he had the best finish for the US as Daron Rahlves and Ted Ligety didn't survive the morning run and Erik Schlopy finished 13th.
