Andrew Weibrecht and Bode Miller after finishing bronze and silver in the super G (Doug Haney/U.S. Ski Team)

Andrew Weibrecht is usually a speed skier, putting his best foot forward at the most opportune time. Andrew smoked most of the competition, winning a bronze medal at the Vancouver Olympic Games in Super G.

Born February 10th, 1986 in Lake Placid, "War Horse" as many call him, has been on the World Cup tour for several years and every year has gained consistently better results.  In 07, you would have seen him hovering around 30th or even 40th position, then in 08/09 around 20, and in this current season, he's been in and around the top 10, making him a serious threat on any given day.

When he came through early in the Olympic Super G and waited through the long laundry list of racers to come after him, he probably would not have imagined that his time would stick. Only Bode and Aksel bested him by .03 and .31 respectively, basically a blink of an eye.

This is definitely someone to keep an eye in the future and if you happen to catch him in a tech event, you will see him wearing his Slytech Nervous Guards.

Congratulations Andrew!
