United States skier Bode Miller has dedicated his bronze medal win in today's Olympic alpine skiing men's super-G competition to his brother.
The 36-year-old clocked up a time of 1:18.67 at the Rosa Khutor Alpine Resort to secure joint-third place alongside Canada's Jan Hudec.
The result means that Miller has become the oldest Olympic medallist in an alpine discipline, and following the podium finish, he posted a message on Twitter which made reference to his brother Chelone, who passed away last April at the age of 29.
Thanks for all the support, today was one of the most emotional days of my life. I miss my brother.
