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.

This race comes down to me. I'm my biggest challenger.

I'm pretty relaxed and chill right now and definitely ready to ski this hill. I'm just trying to get myself prepped and ready to go.

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.
coming far good gotten issue media people skiing stuff trying
As far as the media stuff is concerned, he's gotten a lot of play, a lot of (magazine) covers. That's good for our sport. To me, it's not really a big issue of me getting all the press. It's more like trying to get our sport some press, to get people to know what's coming up. ... What it comes down to, ultimately, is who's going to be skiing faster.
aggression bump gate good hit knocked low soon speed top
I hit this one bump and got high-sided and I kind of went in there with way too much aggression today. Everything was pretty good in the top part, but as soon as I hit this one bump, it knocked me way down low and I just made it into the gate and after that all my speed was gone.
deal ready
We deal with this a lot. You just have to go back, relax, take a little siesta and get ready to go.
