"It wasn't a win," Miller, said after being congratulated, a dismissive attitude reminiscent of his alienating 2006 meltdown at the Torino Olympics when he described the sport as "wasted."

Shortly after, Miller, 32, showed some of the hard-won maturity he is said to have acquired since then, adding that the medal at least, "feels like a win."

But before he could walk away, Miller again slipped back into his defensive mode.
