This Libra is an American Alpine Skier, and his name is Bode Miller. I have to tell you, writing this “Hot Olympic Athletes” has really made me SO much more aware as to the “who’s who” of sports. I mean, I love watching sports and playing sports, but I don’t follow sports you know? It’s too much commitment and memorization that I’d rather not get delve into.

Here are some of Miller’s stats:

Sport: Alpine Skiing
Birthdate: October 12, 1977
Residence: Sugar Hill, NH
Height: 6’2″
Weight: 209 lbs
Olympics: 2006, 2002, 1998

Although, this hunk is popular in sports in terms of his success, he’s thumbs down when it comes to the press. One report referred to him as “a tedious bore given to statements that smack of hypocrisy.” Ouch! Another one said that his behavior had alienated him from “pretty much everyone but those who mindlessly celebrate rebels simply for their rebellion, however misplaced it might be.” So…he’s a bad ass, huh? Grool.

This guy is no stranger to the Olympics, having competed in the last three Winter Games. At the 2002 Olympics, he won two silver medals. He has also done super well at the World Championships, winning a grand total of four gold medals & one silver medal. At the 2006 Olympics, he failed to make the podium on any of his events. And, although last year was pegged the worst year of his career in terms of performance, he whipped himself into shape enough to win a World Cup super-combined event on January 15, 2010 and at the end of 2009 he managed to make it on Team USA for the Olympics.

It will certainly be interesting to see how this wild cannon does.
