Vonn: 'Miller has inspired me for 2018'

United States skier Lindsey Vonn has revealed that watching Bode Miller win bronze in Sochi has given her confidence that she can compete in the 2018 Winter Olympics.

Vonn missed out on competing in Russia as she sustained a torn anterior cruciate ligament before the Games, but has admitted that seeing Miller win his medal at the age of 36 in the super-G has inspired her.

She told USA Today: "It gives me a little confidence going into Pyeongchang in four years. I'll be 33. If Bode can do it, I can do it."

The 29-year-old won two medals in Vancouver in the 2010 Games.
