bring came definitely home medals poor skiers
It ---. We came up very short. We had skiers to bring home medals in every event. This is definitely a poor performance.
red wearing
I'd like to be wearing the red (leader's) bib in downhill.
event hard knowing last racing three time
It's hard to swallow, knowing this is the last time I'll be racing in an event like this. Three times in the Olympics, and I haven't medaled.
across ahead feeling good hit last line punishing skiing surprised sweet top worse
It was a little punishing on the top and it slowed me down a bit. But yesterday, I made a much worse turn, so I thought, 'OK, I've still had some good speed, I was ahead of it, and skiing pretty clean.' Then off that last jump, that was kind of a sweet feeling to hit that, then I get across the line and was really surprised to see where I was at.
allow biggest chance great leading race ski
Obviously, if I'm leading by 1.2 seconds, I like this hill. This race comes down to me. I'm my biggest challenger. If I allow myself to ski well and relax, I have a great chance to win.
bring came chance definitely felt lack medals short skiers
This sucks. We definitely came up very short of what we were potentially able to do. ... It really felt like we had a chance to bring down medals in every event. We had the skiers to do that. It's not for lack of trying.
biggest race
This race comes down to me. I'm my biggest challenger.
deal ready
We deal with this a lot. You just have to go back, relax, take a little siesta and get ready to go.
