U.S. skier Bode Miller needed only a relatively conservative slalom run late this afternoon to win the gold in the men’s Super Combined at the world championships in Val d’Isere, France, but instead missed a gate midway down the course and failed to finish.

Norway’s Aksel Lund Svindal, meanwhile, held onto his lead from the downhill leg to win the third world title of his career. France’s Julien Lizeroux was second.
