Bode Miller Zitate

Samuel Bode Miller , ausschließlich Bode Miller [ˈboʊdiː ˈmɪləɹ] genannt, ist ein ehemaliger US-amerikanischer Skirennläufer. Er fuhr im alpinen Skiweltcup in allen Disziplinen, womit er zu den wenigen „Allroundern“ gehörte, und ist der erfolgreichste Skirennläufer seines Landes. Bei den Olympischen Winterspielen 2010 wurde Miller Olympiasieger in der Kombination. Er gewann auch vier Weltmeistertitel in vier verschiedenen Disziplinen , hinzu kommen fünf weitere olympische Medaillen und eine zusätzliche Weltmeisterschaftsmedaille. In den Wintern 2004/05 und 2007/08 entschied Miller die Gesamtwertung des Weltcups für sich. Zudem konnte er zweimal den Super-G-Weltcup, dreimal den Kombinationsweltcup und einmal den Riesenslalomweltcup gewinnen. Er ist einer von nur fünf Skirennläufern, die in allen fünf alpinen Disziplinen Siege errangen und bisher der einzige, dem dies in jeder Disziplin mindestens fünfmal gelang. Miller besitzt den Ruf eines rebellischen „Bad Boy“, war für seinen riskanten Fahrstil bekannt und gilt als exzentrisch. Wikipedia

Bode Miller: Zitate auf Englisch

“For me the ideal Olympics would be to go in with all that pressure, all that attention and have performances that are literally tear-jerking, that make people put their heads down because they’re embarrassed at how emotional they’re getting, that make people want to try sports, talk to their kids, call their f---ing ex-wives—and come away with no medals. I think that would be epic. That would be the perfect thing.”

“Sport is born clean and it would stay that way if it was the athletes who ran it for the pleasure of taking part, but then the fans and the media intervene and finish up by corrupting it with the pressure that they exercise.”

“You basically have to trick yourself into incredible intensity to do this stuff, and I do a good job of pretending that I’m racing to save my mom from getting killed or my sister from being raped—some horrible thing that causes me to dig deep, like old-school ‘Braveheart’ s---. If you come into battle with that in your head, you’re gonna be a different person than if you think you’re just going out for a little swordfight. But when you do that for 10 years straight, it wears your a-- out. It’s like crying wolf to yourself a million times. And at some point, you start to say, ‘Why am I doing this?”

“This year I just want to enjoy myself. I could give up tomorrow without having the slightest regret. I could keep away from this world for a year and then perhaps start to feel the desire to prove something to myself again.”

“From this inhuman pressure doping is born because the athlete feels the imperative of having to be No. 1. I believe instead that sport should be a private pressure, a challenge for yourself.”

“The silver medals I won in Salt Lake City didn’t give me anything. Last year I set myself the goal of winning the World Cup and lining up a long series of wins. It was my private challenge.”

About

“Anyone who isn’t strong is left in a corner, no one asks for their autograph, they are abandoned in the cold shadows. Those who win, however, become icons.”

“Some people say I make mistakes, I just say that in fact this is the secret of enjoying life. I hate monotony. Why don’t they leave me freedom of choice? People want to impose choices which aren’t necessarily mine. That’s the mistake people make.”
