there are no prize purses for FIS races. he is not technically a professional skier. he does have sponsors, so he basically is one. but i said technically.

Haha, wow. Some people on this website are rediculous. The olympics are where the best of every country go and compete against other nations. On any aspect that would not be considered an "amature" contest. And when your sponsored, which you would be if your in the olympics, that gold medal is all you get from the olympics, but, now this is depending on the athletes sponsorship agreement, you get paid by them when you win(atleast someone like Bode would get paid if he got on the podium).

When you have a profession, you are paid to do something. Derek Jeter is a professional athlete; he receives direct compensation for playing in games. Sammy Carlson is a professional athlete; he competes for cash prizes that are awarded directly based on specific athletic performance.

Bode Miller doesn't make shit for racing. He gets endorsements to do fashion shoots and to have that stupid Barilla pasta sticker on his helmet (he is no longer sponsored by them, but you get the point). These people would probably not renew his contract if he quit racing, but his payment from them is not based directly on his performance, whereas Jeter gets a bonus if he wins the world series and Carlson gets more money if he does better in a comp.

And until recently, the Olympics was by DEFINITION an amateur competition. Professional athletes were not permitted to participate.

Get "learned."

Thanks for the spell check, teach!

Well then I must be a "professional" skier because I get paid to ski. It is very clear that you dont understand what it actually takes to be a professional athlete. Theres so much other stuff that goes on behind the sences that not many people know of that comes with being a high performance athlete, and it is very clear you dont know anything about that either.

I've been racing alpine since I was 4. Trust me, I understand very well what goes into developing a high performance athlete.

This also has nothing to do with the question of whether or not Bode Miller is a professional athlete. You do not understand what the word professional means.

A professional is not someone who is good at what he does. Someone could be a remarkable painter but as long as he is not selling his artwork he is not a professional. You could say colloquially that he is a "pro," in that he is exceptionally skilled, but he is not a professional.

What do you do? Do you get directly paid by an employer to do it? Do you compete as an independent agent for prizes awarded based on specific athletic performances? In that case you are a skiing professional.

Bode Miller is one of the greatest skiers alive. But he's a professional model.

Professionals wernt aloud in the olympics?.....Take a look at hockey there bud, those were NHL players back in the 88 games, now I cant say for before the 88 games, but 22 years isnt that recent...

And your right, he gets endorcments because he "is generally considered the greatest American alpine skier of all time"-quoted directly from wikipedia. when you get that title, kinda means your pro, and when you have that status, and by that point, your name is really all sponsors want, and they dont care so much about results. theres a lot of different aspects to being a profesional.
