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.
speed
I don't know where the speed was today.
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.
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.
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.
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.
bummed keeping people
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.
red wearing
I'd like to be wearing the red (leader's) bib in downhill.
goes skier
Bode goes out there and goes hard, and that's all you want out of a skier and a teammate.
