Bode Miller won a World Cup Downhill Victory in Wengen, Switzerland to tie the American individual record of World Cup Skiing victories. The victory was Bode’s 27th overall and a repeat of his downhill victory on the Lauberhorn course last year. The Lauberhorn course is the longest one on the World Cup circuit at 2.8 miles.

Phil Mahre and Bode now share the American record of 27 individual wins. Bode went independent of the U.S. Team last May and trains and tours without their support. A native of New Hampshire, he’s a graduate of the Carrabassett Valley Academy at the Sugarloaf resort in Maine.
