He threw himself out of the start house and quickly reached 126.48 kph-fastest on the day-at the first interval timing, slicing through the two tough turns in the upper part of the course. Nor did he make the mistake that had cost him a medal in the downhill, when he gave up too much speed in the lower section. Miller's time of 1:38.36 was .32 secs ahead of Didier...
