■Cuche takes opening leg in Val Gardena
"I'm always attacking, no matter what the course is," Miller said. Until this top-3, he told a press conference, his skis had been running well but he hadn't been executing sharply enough to break onto the podium. - SportsNetwork.com

Swiss skier Cuche pips Miller to win men's super-G
Switzerland's Didier Cuche claimed his seventh World Cup career victory by winning the men's super-G here on Friday.
American Bode Miller finished a close second with Marco Buechel of Liechtenstein completing the tightly-contested podium in third.
Benjamin Raich finished Austria's top skier in seventh place at 0.30secs behind Cuche, which proved enough for him to retain the World Cup overall lead.
Cuche clocked a time of 1min 36.66sec, with Miller finishing just 0.02secs behind. Buechel finished at 0.04 behind the Swiss.
"Experience and luck are important," said Cuche.
"I made a few errors in the jumps. On the last one which led to the final run-in, I landed too far on the left hand side and nearly missed a gate and I thought I had lost the race. In fact it was there that I won it as I gained a bit of time."
And on the closeness between the podium places, Cuche added: "Apart from some who manage to be a cut above such as Aksel (Norwegian Aksel Lund Svindal) before his fall, it's very close. It will be difficult for one person to set up a series of victories."
Raich's bid to reinforce his World Cup lead was given a boost when one of his main rivals, Swiss all-rounder Daniel Albrecht, crashed out on the race's main jump.
Raich now has 441 points with Cuche in second place overall on 373 and now leading the super-G standings.
The men's racing will continue with a downhill here on Saturday.

Didier Cucheのコメントを意訳すれば(笑)、、、
…いがっだ、いがっだ。飛びをあんまし失敗しねかったすけ、ね。ゴールに入るとこの最後の飛びんときに、あんまし左側に着地しちまって、あーしもた、やっちまったと思ったんだ。でもよう、そいでもあんまし遅れんで勝っちまっただよ。
(失礼しました。中高生のみなさんは、辞書を引いて正しい意味を確認してくださいませ。)

総合優勝争いは、昨シーズンの覇者Aksel Lund Svindalが戦線離脱となったので、Benjamin RaichとDidier Cucheの争い。Daniel AlbrechtもRaichと同様に技術系から高速系までをこなすオールラウンダーなので可能性はあるんだけど、この日のレースではクラッシュしてしまった。

Things looking up for Miller
Bode (BOH'-dee) Miller has posted his first podium finish since breaking away from the U.S. ski team. The American star finished second in today's World Cup super-G in Italy, two-hundredths of a second behind Didier Cuche (DIHD'-ee-ay KOOSH). It's the Swiss skier's first win of the World Cup season.
Miller left the U.S. team ahead of this season to train and race on his own. He won the super-G on the same mountain last year but hadn't finished in the top three since placing third in the giant slalom at last season's World Cup finals.
Miller still hasn't won since taking the classic downhill in Wengen, Switzerland, nearly a year ago.
