OLYMPIC IN BRIEF

Bode Miller won a bronze medal in the men's downhill this week, one more medal than he took at the Turin Games in 2006. If Miller keeps skiing well, perhaps his Turin debacle will become a more distant memory. He's now won three Olympic medals, including two silvers in 2002. He'll ski in the super-G today, a day that also features cross-country skiing, ice dancing and the skeleton on NBC.

•

BODES WELL?: Miller was once a world champion in the super-G, although that was in 2005. He didn't finish when he raced in the event at the 2006 Olympics.•

CROSSOVER: Poland's Justyna Kowalczyk is a favorite in the women's 15-kilometer pursuit, an event that combines classical and freestyle cross-country skiing techniques.•

SAVE THE LAST DANCE: Canada's Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir will be the last of 23 pairs to compete in ice dancing's compulsory program. Americans Meryl Davis and Charlie White will skate 17th.•

DIVING IN: Medals will be awarded in men's and women's skeleton, in which athletes go headfirst down the mountain on the same track used for luge and bobsled.
