There has been much debate about whether Bode Miller will return to the 2009/2010 World Cup season, let alone the Olympics. And he’s not confirming any thing one way or another. Most assume Bode has hung up his skis – particularly since he left before the end of the World Cup season last year.But last night LB had a “revelation” and, after much discussion, I had to agree that he might be onto something.
Bode will not only return to the World Cup… Bode will compete at the Olympics and win. Big time. We know this because we’ve been watching The Superstars.*
Don’t see the connection? Let me explain.
LB thinks that Bode has been using "The Superstars” as part of his strategy to psyche out his competition on the World Cup. The theory? The competition sees Bode on the show, notes how uncharacteristically unfit he has become and believes he won’t be coming back to the World Cup for the upcoming season. They rest easy.
But the show was been pre-taped months ago!
So while the rest of the world is lulled into a false sense of security that Bode won’t be a threat on the ski circuit this year, Bode is actually working out furiously and preparing to take back his World Cup title and several Olympic medals! They won’t even see him coming!
Sound like a complicated theory? Well it is, but it’s just the kind of complicated strategy someone like Bode would go for. In this article: Bode Miller is real winner of ‘The Superstars’ (sort of) the writer points out that Bode’s performance during the competition showed “some seriously intense strength and strategizing… That’s the kind of thing Bode was doing all season, it seemed.”
Only time will tell if LB’s theory turns out to be true. And if it does, you can let people know you read it here first.
* The Superstars is a lame reality show that pairs athletes with celebrities to compete in a number of sporting events. Just to clarify, we only tuned in because we heard Bode was participating and wherever Bode is… well, it’s sure to be entertaining.
