fifth maybe top
I was back on my skis too much at the top of the course. Otherwise, it could have been a much better run, maybe fifth place.
bummed keeping people
I'm a little bummed out that they are keeping people off the hill.
putting simple smooth trying
I was just trying to concentrate on the simple things: Putting down some smooth skiing, which I didn't do yesterday, and having fun.
event finish inspection season special speeds toughest
The super-G is the toughest event because there's only one inspection and the speeds are high. It's pretty special to be on the podium with Bode and finish the season strong.
looking phone support talk
Sometimes you try to talk to him, and he's looking down and fiddling with his phone and stuff. I would have to go out of my way to talk to him. It would be me going out of my way to do that, and that's not for me. But we support each other on the hill.
capable good ski
It's not going to be easy, that's for sure. If I ski the way I am capable of skiing, on this kind of hill, it could be a good day.
came events mean reason remaining tough walking wheels
The wheels came off today, for some reason or another. (The remaining events don't) mean as much to me as the downhill. It's tough walking away from this one right now.
goes skier
Bode goes out there and goes hard, and that's all you want out of a skier and a teammate.
clean confidence downhill event events feeling giant good head needed shake skiing smooth three today together training
The way I was skiing downhill this year, I was on the podium in three events, but with super-G, it's the one event I just haven't had the confidence in like in the downhill and giant slalom. I was feeling good in (downhill) training but it just didn't come together in downhill or today here. I just shake my head at the way I was skiing. I needed to be clean and smooth and I just wasn't doing that.
across came felt gate good line runs speed surprised
I don't know where the speed went today. I really don't know what to say. I got in the gate and I was ready. I came across the line and I was really surprised where I was at. I felt it was a good run, one of the better runs I've had.
anywhere everybody seeing
That's Bode. He doesn't do anything different any other time. He's been doing it for years. Nothing really changes. Everybody is seeing what he's doing here, but it's not any different from anywhere else.
anywhere knows
That's Bode. He doesn't do anything different. He knows himself. You'll see what he's doing here is no different than what he does anywhere else.
felt timing
I felt like I was flowing. My timing was there. Something wasn't working out.
changed fun looked run speed surprised time
It was a fun run and . . . I was a little surprised when I looked at my time at the bottom. I don't think I would have changed anything, but I don't know where the speed went.
