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 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.
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.
active face huge smile starts top
I like this hill. It's a really active downhill. I like how it starts off with two challenging jumps. I had a huge smile on my face going down, from the top to the bottom.
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.
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.
beat tough
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.
course felt looking rest weather
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.
felt timing
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.
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.

I don't know where the speed was today.
