lows adrenaline huge
A huge adrenaline rush is usually followed by a pretty low point.
years limping
Eventually I'd like to have a family. I'd like to not be limping around when I'm 50 years old.
racing gone skis
From 1999 to 2003 was the peak of equipment in ski racing. Since then, it's all gone in the wrong direction.
important living-my-life honestly
It's important for me to live my life honestly.
horse fun racing
My grandfather was very into horse racing, and I found some of his old journals and got into it from there. It has a lot of parallels to skiing. It's a fun lifestyle, being around the racetrack.
men rocks want
It does matter that it's the Olympics. I just did it my way. I'm not a martyr, and I'm not a do-gooder. I just want to go out and rock. And man, I rocked here.
kids school thinking
When I was little, I spent a lot of time by myself. When other kids were in school, I was skiing and thinking about things. I was alone on the mountain.
fun regret mistake
The only mental games in ski racing is the mental game against yourself. Is the whole goal of life preserving your life as long as you can? No. The goal is to enjoy your life, challenge yourself, to sometimes make stupid decisions-which are sometimes fun and sometimes idiotic and sometimes just a big fat mistake you regret.
wish would-be feels
If I could wish one thing for anyone, it would be to not have to do anything his entire life-just go along and when you feel like doing something, do it.
winning accomplishment pressure
Despite all the pressure and the caliber of accomplishment, I still can honestly say that it's not all about winning.
kids years figures
I can take $15,000 a year and raise kids on that. Later, they'll figure out I've got millions, but hopefully they'll have the values to say, 'So what?
people care judgment
I don't care what other people's judgments come down to-I care what my judgments come down to.
winning judging way
The way I judge myself is not on how many World Cups I can win in a row.
