& Ldquo; From & rsquo; operation on everything & egrave; went well - says Miller -. I tried to walk on a line that allowed, during rehabilitation, to maintain a good shape without forcing too much & rdquo ;. Bode skied in free field for five days at Deer Valley two weeks ago and l & rsquo; another yesterday & egrave; trained in the giant Women's Track World Cup in Beaver Creek. & Ldquo; In skiing in open field I felt good but do giant on track Girls & egrave; was too much for me & rdquo; says Miller. At present then the 37 year-old champion US non & egrave; yet ready to return to the World Cup, it can be difficult phenomena in two weeks when there will be trials and races in Wengen. Asked if he will participate & agrave; World Cup without having played a match of World Cup Miller responds: & ldquo; The real problem & egrave; if my team porter & agrave ;. I have a good record in Beaver Creek, this would be a good argument in my favor and I have seen come back after spending so much time away from the slopes. But at the same time we have a very strong team with guys like Steven Nyman and Travis Ganong who this season have already & agrave; won in the World Cup and also they have some valid arguments to be at the World Cup & rdquo ;. & Ldquo; My feeling with the snow & egrave; the main problem - adds Bode - rather the question marks pi & ugrave; The big will my form, my back and l & rsquo; integrity & agrave; General of my body. If my body will feel & agrave; well andr & ograve; forward, otherwise, if I were not able to compete quest & rsquo; year & egrave; unlikely to return next season when avr & ograve; a year in pi & ugrave; compared to 37 now. The only reason to come back next season would be winning races and World Cups, but it would be a risk and probably not the best choice & rdquo ;. Clear words after which many fans Bode Miller now fear not to see more & ugrave; in action after giving the show for over 15 years on tracks all over the world.
