In 2006 Bode Miller was the biggest bust of all time...This topic comes up every Olympics.
Schiffren is doing well in her relatively young career. Pressure to win is greatest on her perhaps of all athletes at Olympics this year given her dominance.
Millers tv analysis is detailed but hard to overcome his flat low energy delivery.
To his credit my nephew raced against him during their teenage years and said he was a genuine guy "a humble champion" who even though he was head and shoulders above every racer would purposefully take it easy so as to make the races fun and competitive for everyone else. Hard to imagine say Armstrong doing that.
Hopefully Schiffren won't become sidetracked by the limelight in her career. That will be her biggest opponent.

I gotta say I am really enjoying the technical analysis Bode gives. I always thought him a dufus but have learned alot just listening to him break down the racers.
Mikaela has youth and health on her side. So fun to watch.
