Bode Miller is Back in Action

Bode Miller's back injury won't keep the legendary bad boy from racing in the season-opening World Cup this weekend. The 2005 overall World Cup champion, who ditched the U.S. ski team to go independent this season, announced today that despite his hurt thoracic region of his upper back, he's still gunning for Sunday's giant slalom on the Rettenbach glacier. —Christina Erb
