SESTRIERE, Italy -- Unbent, unbowed and ultimately unsuccessful, Bode Miller
said in an interview Saturday he is skiing away from these Olympics on his
own terms - content without any medals and impressed by the local nightlife.
"I just did it my way. I'm not a martyr, and I'm not a do-gooder. I just
want to go out and rock. And man, I rocked here," Miller said in an
exclusive interview with The Associated Press soon after he skidded off the
slalom course in his fifth and final race, completing an 0-for-the-Olympics.
He called his Olympic experience "awesome" and cited the gold medals by
teammates Julia Mancuso and Ted Ligety as one reason. Another, he said, was
Sestriere's bar scene.
