After the final day of downhill training saw 10 of 55 racers fail to complete the course thanks to a number of spills, one of which resulted in a bloodied face, five-time Olympic medalist Bode Miller said the track is so “treacherous” it “can kill you.”

Miller was referring to a near-crash by teammate Marco Sullivan, who Miller was watching before his practice run. Sullivan came to a turn and nearly lost control, but righted himself before crashing into the netting.

Said Miller:

“[Sullivan] almost killed himself. I mean, if that crash doesn’t go just the way it went, he goes flying through B-nets, going 75 (mph), straight into the trees. That angle that he was going at right there is the worst spill zone in the entire course. It’s just one of those things. And if you’re not totally focused and paying attention, this course can kill you.”

The 36-year-old Miller was the fastest racer in Saturday’s third and final practice run.

David Leon Moore of USA TODAY Sports skied the course of Friday and found himself making an impromptu luge run after wiping out. He wrote

“The ski racers who have been training on the mountain this week in preparation for Sunday’s men’s downhill — one of the marquee events of the Winter Olympics — have all been saying the same thing. It’s difficult. It’s challenging. It’s great. It has everything a great downhill should have, including one jump — Lake Jump — that has generated flights up to 80 meters (262 feet).”

Miller and his competitors will race the downhill early Sunday morning.
