Bode Miller, the 2005 Overall World Cup Champion. The person everybody knows, the skier everybody respects. His unique attitude and laid-back lifestyle made him one of the most controversial athletes in the history of sports. You either love, or hate him...
Known from his uncompromising skiing style, he never pushes the breaks. Literally, never. He takes as much risk as possible, focused solely on going fast. On the course, he relies on his instincts, letting happen what is to happen. His outsider status and killer smile earned him a reputation as the Michael Jordan of skiing.
With over 20 World Cup victories, 40 podiums, and 80 top tens, he's on the top of world rankings. He's one of a kind character both on and off the course. Despite having millions of dollars, he's never quit his job as a tennis coach in Tamarack Camp. Training children every summer, he says there's no better way to relax than stay among kids, see them develop, watch their tennis improve.
The second greatest athlete in the world on the Men's Journal list, he is the kind of person everybody wants to hang out with. He never holds anything back. Not once in hot water after purely candid interviews, Bode always speaks his mind. That's what differs him from other sportsmen.
