From the Associated Press:
VAL D'ISERE, France -- Bode Miller is unlikely to take another shot at the Olympics.
The American skier said in an interview with UniversalSports.com Wednesday that he's leaning toward retiring at the end of this season, but hasn't completely ruled out the 2010 Vancouver Games.
Miller is the defending overall World Cup champion and currently competing at the world championships in Val D'Isere.
"I've said it for five years and I haven't retired yet but in this particular case ... it's probably likely," Miller said in the interview. "It's just something that comes along for every athlete. ... I'm not decided one way or another. I just think it's unlikely that I would go. It could happen."
Miller did not win a medal at the 2006 Turin Games, and has not won a medal at a major championship since winning the super-G and downhill at the 2005 world championships in Italy.
