Bode Miller has finally fulfilled his expectations and won an Olympic gold medal, using a blistering slalom run to complete a super-combined victory. After placing seventh in the downhill run, the New Hampshire native skied one of the fastest slalom legs today for a two-run combined time of 2:44.92. Miller has also won a silver and a bronze at the Vancouver Games to go with the two silver medals he captured at Salt Lake City in 2002.

Ivica Kostelic of Croatia took the silver medal, 0.33 seconds behind, and Silvan Zurbriggen of Switzerland claimed bronze, 0.40 seconds back.
