The men's alpine skiing super-G race was as gripping as the Olympics get, resulting in a tie for bronze and an emotional medal ceremony for American Bode Miller. With such stiff competition, France's Thomas Mermillod Blondin placed 15th even though he was only 1.39 seconds behind gold medalist Kjetil Jansrud of Norway.
