essence community democracy
The best way to protect your own freedom is to watch everybody else's back. That's the essence of community.
party train-hard sometimes
Sometimes I'm disciplined, but I like to be a total slacker, too. I party hard, but I train hard.
couple together sticks
I tried retiring a couple of times and it just didn't really stick so, but at some point enough things conspire together and it does stick.
confusion criteria hoped moment objective positive reflect
I skied the way I hoped would reflect a positive objective. There's a discrepancy there. There's a moment of confusion and disappointment, but my objective criteria was satisfied.
olympics stuff
The stuff after the Olympics was pretty aggressive.
competition cup
The World Cup has no competition at the moment, the whole thing is a little rusty.
battle downhill finished good half people
I've straddled probably more times than most people have finished slalom. It's a drag, but the downhill was good and I made it to the finish. That's at least half the battle for me.
finished people
I've straddled probably more times than most people have finished slalom.
chance coming great ski
I've not had a great slalom all year, but I feel the slalom is coming together. I know I can ski well on the downhill, so I have a chance in the combined.
couple difference fifth hurricane spots taken wind
There were just a couple of spots where I got a little out of balance. That's the difference between being fifth and being second. Obviously, it would have taken a hurricane wind to get first today. He was pretty much in control.
beers few
I had dinner. Then I had a few beers with friends and went home.
great knew time watch
I had a great time at Nagano in 1998, when no-one knew me and I could do what I wanted. I went out with my friends and went to watch all the sports.
nine
I'm not very sentimental about anything. I haven't been back here in nine years.
difference edge fifth grip hurricane last taken three wind
I couldn't get a grip in the last three turns. I couldn't find an edge -- that was the difference between fifth and second. It would have taken a hurricane wind to get me to first.
