Bode Miller has called a press conference for this morning for 11 to announce his intentions for the 2010 Olympics and 2009-10 World Cup season.
While he said previously he was done with Olympics, I think it's pretty obvious what he's going to say this morning (After all, U.S. alpine coach Sasha Rearick is joining him at the press conference.)
Miller is still one of the best skiers in the world and the winningest skier in U.S. history. Even if he doesn't medal in Whistler his presence should take some pressure off the rest of the U.S. team.
The U.S. Freestyle team was announced today. A-teamers are your front runners to represent the USA in the 2010 Olympics. Cle Elum's Patrick Deneen is the defending world champ in the moguls.

Just got off the phone with Patrick Deneen, the mogul skier from Cle Elum. Deneen just got in yesterday from Japan where he won the moguls World Championship.
He directed me to a website where you can watch his winning run.
