Bode Miller missed yet another shot at gold today, finishing second to Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway in the men's super-G. Svindal won in 1 minute, 30.34 seconds on a tough, icy course. Miller trailed by 0.28 seconds, and the US' Andrew Weibrecht was 0.31 behind Svindal in third. Svindal took silver in the downhill on Monday, edging Miller into the bronze medal slot. Miller's fourth career Olympic medal makes him the most decorated American Alpine skier in history. (More 2010 Vancouver Olympics stories.)
