*****BIG FAT SPOILER*****

Bode Miller wins super combined gold

Reuters
Sunday, February 21, 2010; 4:09 PM

WHISTLER (Reuters) - American Bode Miller won the men's super combined event on Sunday to complete his set of Olympic medals with a long-awaited first gold.

The 32-year-old, who had won a silver in super-G and a bronze in downhill earlier in the week, beat Ivica Kostelic on a slalom course set by the Croatian's father to collect the fifth medal of his Olympic career.

Switzerland's Silvan Zurbriggen took the bronze.

Norway's Aksel Lund Svindal, who had led after the downhill part of the event, saw his bid for a third medal of the Games disappear when he failed to finish the slalom.

10. Wow, tough crowd.
Kind of like the kid that peeks a look at their Christmas presents and then is disappointed that mom left them out wrapped up.
