Skiing legend Bode Miller, now a commentator for NBC, looks for those 'magical runs'

PYEONGCHANG, South Korea — For someone who once talked publicly about skiing drunk, Bode Miller sounded exceptionally sober Sunday at the 2018 Winter Games.

Preparing to make his Olympic debut as a TV analyst for NBC during the Alpine skiing competition, Miller said agreed with the decision to postpone the men’s downhill competition Sunday because of windy conditions.

“When I woke up and I saw the wind I was like, ‘God, I hope they don’t run today,’ because it would have just been a bummer to have a race decided by the weather, because that’s happened a lot in the past,’’ said Miller, 40, who retired in 2015 as the second-most decorated American skier in Olympics history with six medals, including one gold.
