That was NBC reporting yesterday on Bode Miller and Daron Rahlves changing to new sets of skis at the last second (and, after Bode bombed, Rahlves changing back to his old ones and also bombing). But they, and lots of others, may have missed this in their evaluation of Miller's subpar downhill run: he stayed up late and drank the night before. That's according to Reuters and the AP. Miller didn't deny it, but didn't think it made a difference in his race. Suuure it didn't. Same story about the changing skis - it didn't make a difference. Don't believe that so fast, either, says one of his own teammates.

Meanwhile, the snowboarders have two golds and a silver so far, while news on the skiers is only getting worse, with one of the American women involved in what's generally being described as a gruesome training-run crash. So far, one stick good, two sticks bad.
