Bode Miller Breaks World Cup Wins Record
World Champion Skier Bode Miller Breaks American World Cup Wins Record in Kitzbuehel
28 Victories Gives Bode the Title After Two Decades
January 20, 2008-- Bode Miller, four-time World Champion Alpine Skier, won his 28th World Cup race today in Kitzbuehel, Austria giving him the all-time American World Cup wins record. The record, previously held by Phil Mahre, set in 1984, has been in Bode’s sights since the beginning of the current 2007-2008 race season.
As a double Olympic medalist, four-time World Champion and four-time World Cup titlist, Miller has earned an extraordinary amount of achievements throughout his career. In 2005, he became the first American in 22 years to win the overall alpine skiing World Cup title. In November 2004, he became only the fifth man to win World Cup races in all five disciplines: slalom, giant slalom, Super-G, downhill, and combined. However the American World Cup wins record is a historic achievement from any skier.
“Setting this record has been on my mind the last couple seasons as I accumulated more and more wins,” says Miller. “I accept this accomplishment with gratitude and look forward to future accomplishments as a ski racer and with my new independent race team, Team America.”
Team America, which was formed earlier this year by Miller, consists of himself, head coach John McBride, assistant coaches Forest Carey and Mike Kenney (all three former US Ski Team coaches), team manager Jennifer Holden, technicians Robi Kristan and Heinz Hammerle, agents Lowell Taub of CAA Sports, Ken Sowles and driver/chef Jake Serino.
