Spoiler alert: Bode Miller won 't downhill medal. Makes skimming contact with two gates, finishes .52 behind leader, stands 5th at moment.

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.

#TeamUSA @jessika_jenson 5th, @tywalkersnow 6th, miss #slopestyle finals. top 4 advance, join @Jme_Anderson , @KarlyShorr in finals

by Jason Blevins via twitter 2/9/2014 7:58:59 AM
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."

by U.S. Figure Skating via twitter 2/9/2014 8:03:19 AM
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.

by Gary Kicinski via Digital First Media 2/9/2014 8:04:12 AM
Italian Christof Innerhofer has surged into the silver position at 2:06.29; Austrian Mattias Mayer remains in first and Norways Kjetil Jansrud holds third, 27 skiers left to compete.
