Bode - WOW!! Just watched his run on NBC, he used his Downhill skis instead of the shorter Super G skis. In the slow motion replay you could see him clipping the gates and in fact he actually attacked a few gates like a GS race and sent the gates flying from 65MPH contact with his arm pads!

Not always the best thing to be knocking and clipping gates at that speed. In fact, at times in the past, Bode's incredibly straight lines has cost him some issues....But, of course, you cannot criticize success! It also helps him ski faster at times than most other racers....
