Live updates: 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi

3rd & 7 37yd

Wow. Bode Miller misses the medal podium in downhill. Great start at the top but too many mistakes in the middle and bottom. Clearly bummed.

Crowd was raucous as Bode crushed top of run, noise dimmed when hit probls halfway down. Maybe 100 USA fans here. Hard venue to reach.

Sad image of Miller hanging head, then slowly skiing off, a crawl pace really. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BgBE9UFIUAABqWT.jpg

2:06.52 for Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway, putting him third, knocking Ganong to fourth, and meaning no medal for USA in men's downhill.

"There's so much energy." - @SimonShnapir on the crowd "During our warmup they were doing the wave."

So that means the next shot at any American medals will be Jamie Anderson and Karly Shorr when they compete in the women's slopestyle finals that begin at 4:15 a.m. ET. Shorr will go sixth, Anderson 10th, in the two-run event, with top three best scores earning medals.

Travis Ganong fields a lot of questions from the media. He was the top American in today's #downhill .… instagram.com

full pull capped with a 720 by @jennyjonessnow ! She is lookin' cool, calm and collected in the corral! #slopestyle #sochi2014

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/9/2014 9:18:50 AM
Silje Norendal of Norway gets things started with a score of 49.50; that's not going to be nearly good enough and she'll hope for a better second run.

the trick to throw is the 720 for the women of #slopestyle , but I heard we may see a cab double cork 900 out of Anna Gasser!! #sochi2014
