Things seem to be looking up for Bode Miller. The 32-year-old Olympian won a gold medal in the super combined skiing on Sunday in Vancouver. This is his first ever gold medal, and it seems to be an indicator of his unexpected success at the Olympics.

With two events still remaining, Bode Miller has already earned a gold, silver, and bronze medal at these Olympic Games, fueling much speculation on whether he can win medals in his remaining events.
