across either finished front good guys happy hard line sad section shut speed tomorrow top
I thought I had some good speed going in the top section and then I shut it down pretty hard and put myself out of the top 30. But at least I'll know what I finished right away. I'll either be happy or sad when I come across the finish line tomorrow because all the top guys are (starting) in front of me.
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.
across change conditions fair race
There's nothing you can do about it. The conditions just change so much. I just don't think it was a very fair race across the board, but it's never fair really.
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.
across came felt gate line mistake nervous ready skiing
I was really nervous this morning, but when I got into the gate I was ready to go. I made a little mistake up top, but I thought I was skiing okay. When I came across the line I was really surprised. I felt like things were working out.
medal saved ted
I think we should've been able to medal in every event. What Ted did was awesome. He pretty much saved our butts.
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.

He's going to be tough to beat here.

I'm a little bummed out that they are keeping people off the hill.

I felt really comfortable on the course and the weather is looking to be the same, so I'm just going to rest and come back for Saturday.

I felt like I was flowing. My timing was there. Something wasn't working out.

I don't know where the speed was today.

Bode goes out there and goes hard, and that's all you want out of a skier and a teammate.
