feels good season winning
It feels pretty good to end this season by winning a Cup.
cups events five focused good shape skip
What am I second? I am so focused on the Olympics, I don't know where I am in the standings. I will skip some World Cups if I have to -- I want to be in good shape for all five events at the Olympics. I will do a lot for that.
bad coming good hard lake louise week
Coming into this week was pretty hard because Lake Louise was not so good for me. I just had so much bad luck.
combined gives good normal skiers speed super
Any kind of combined is cool. I think the super combined is pretty good because it's just a one-run slalom and it gives the speed skiers a better chance. I think the super-combined is something that will stay. For me, it's better than the normal combined with the two-run slalom.
fight good medal tough
I'm happy. This has been a good Olympics. It was always a tough fight with the snow. I really wanted a medal today, but you can't have it all.

I'm feeling good about my racing. Right now I'm trying to get in a rhythm.

I think I beat her in only one place today - the start. She beat the heck out of me everywhere else.

It didn't bother me a lot today. It's hard to say about my knees' condition because it's going up and down every day. When I came here I felt pain in my knees.

I think this week was not meant to be.
conditions today
Today was a better day for me, the conditions were much better.
home leading push
When you see the Austrians leading at home it kind of hurts. I'm going to come back in Zagreb and push for it.
anyone mental ups
I don't think anyone really understands my mental ups and downs.
compared felt last today
Today it felt like I skied, compared to the last two days.

I crossed my skis really bad. I was waiting for the crash ... for my head to hit the snow.
