Miller is the triple-threat leader of a U.S. ski team that is crucial to the U.S. Olympic Committee's goal of winning a record 20 medals in these Games. (The tally from Nagano in 1998: 13.) In freestyle skiing's mogul and aerial events--bumps and jumps--wild man Jonny Moseley and the meticulous Eric Bergoust will be defending their respective titles. The mogul team is impressively deep.
