Bode pulls closer to Austrian logjam

At top of World Cup


U.S. Ski Team star Bode Miller, back in his attacking style, pulled within 133 points of the overall World Cup men’s leadership with a second-place result in Sunday’s men’s slalom at Adelboden, Switz.

Miller’s best SL result in eight races came a day after he DNFd in the Adelboden giant slalom and dropped out of the lead in that discipline for the first time this season. Miller won the first two GSs, but has DNFd the last two in Austria and Switzerland.

The men’s World Cup title is up in the air. Three Austrians—Benjamin Raich (985 points), Hermann Maier (954) and Stephan Eberharter (881)—are lodged in first through third places ahead of fourth-place Miller (852).

Next, the men return to St. Anton, Austria for downhill and super giant slalom. St. Anton is the site of the 2001 World Championships where Daron Rahlves won the SG gold.

Here is last week’s wrap-up:
