Alpine Skiing
We have always seen as a myth to the starting gate. There is no race in which the viewers' attention is not directed at him. Viewers intrigued by his performances on the slopes, but especially by his "madness". We are talking about Bode Miller, the athlete loved by all lovers of alpine skiing, and not U.S.. For years, newspapers and the media publish news about his possible withdrawal from the World Cup circuit, but this time, however, the U.S. is no joke.

During the press conference on Thursday, Bode harshly attacked the FIS rules adopted for the new material: "These rules are ridiculous, they ruin our sport. The FIS has stopped 7 years ago the development of alpine skiing. Then we lost our battle, by 2003 every single change made ​​by the FIS has made ​​things worse for us athletes, for manufacturing companies and for the fans. "
"I love this sport, but if the materials of the rules for next season should remain current ones, then I will close my career because I can not as I would like to ski. And do not say this out of personal interest, I'm the one that can better adapt to new materials. The next year you'll see people going into shopping malls and hang out with the ski much better than we can use us in the World Cup, is a bad situation. "
"These kinds of decisions can only be taken by athletes and by manufacturers of skis. With regard to materials the people who run the FIS did not even know what they are talking and then do not even know what they are doing. The most important thing for safety are attacks on Open seven of them are not any rules, the FIS no one has ever interested. This says everything about the people with whom we deal. "
"I know that Raich is the 'only big decisions not aligned against the FIS, but it does not surprise me because he is from Austria and uses Atomic, a company that has a great influence within the team. And Atomic supports these new rules. The fact is that it would be a great gift for this company because it is losing more ground against Head and then start all from scratch with a leveling of values ​​should be definitely in their favor. "
Today, in the early afternoon, the meeting will be held between the FIS and athletes to discuss the new rules adopted.
