A historic day for American ski racing: Bode Miller just set the new American record for most World Cup victories with his 28th title, and he did it in dramatic fashion! Bode won the Men’s Combined (Downhill + Slalom) in the famed Hahnenkamm races in Kitzbuhel, Austria, and in the downhill he put down a spectacular run right on the edge of survival - he was going so fast he even clipped the course fence at 150+ kph on a curve but managed to stay on his skis. He tied for 2nd in the downhill but his results in the slalom + downhill awarded him the overall victory for the Men’s Combined event. Watch this phenomenal ride into the ski racing history books:
