Yes, it happened again: There was another tie in alpine skiing, this time with the men's super-G. Bode Miller and Canada's Jan Hudec were both awarded bronze after finishing the run in 1 minute, 18.67 seconds.
Norway's Kjetil Jansrud claimed gold (1:18.14), while American skier Andrew Weibrecht won the silver (1:18.44).
The race is considered a tie because International Ski Federation rounds times to the nearest hundredth of a second, even though timers calculate the run to the fourth decimal place.
“When you start getting into such small numbers you cannot guarantee the integrity of that number," Jenny Wiedeke, FIS communication manager, told the New York Times after the double gold earlier in the week. "It’s an outdoor sport in a winter climate; a piece of flesh could be the difference.”
This is the first time Canada has been on the podium in alpine skiing since 1994, when Ed Podivinsky won bronze in downhill at the Olympics in Lillehammer.
Also, Miller probably doesn't want to talk about this.
With his bronze in today's super-G @MillerBode becomes the oldest Alpine medalist in Olympic history.
