"Bode Miller was up on all three mid-race splits but, as is his custom, looked close to calamity at times. The American, still searching for a sixth Olympic medal, sets the pace 0.18secs ahead of Peter Fill.
"Max Franz then cuts the gap to 0.07secs and then Strieding shaves it to 0.02secs. They're getting closer. And here's defending champion Aksel Lund Svindal - but he's slow on all the intermediates and goes fourth. Disappointing Games for him so far."
