I only hope I get to watch the women's downhill. I think I'll still be able to grasp the sensation even if I'm only living it vicariously.
This is going to light a fire under them. They need to find that fire, to use this for the races coming up.
She just has a lot of growing up to do ? and lose the tiara.
I've had to do that all my life because my energy is way, way overwhelming.
I feel very strongly that she will compete in these Games. Whether it's Wednesday, I don't know. Her color is back. She's had some ice cream. She looks good.
When someone tells me there is only one way to do things, it always lights a fire under my butt. My instant reaction is, I'm gonna prove you wrong.

Nobody needs to prove to anybody what they're worthy of, just the person that they look at in the mirror. That's the only person you need to answer to.
I don't look at it like that's my rival and I have to beat her. It's more like, I have to ski this as fast as I can and the fastest of everyone out here and that's what I expect.
I'm looking forward to free skiing the most. Just groomers, big wide groomers making nice big turns.
I don't know if it's just me or everyone, but the whole vibe with skiing is not so much thriving on competition against others as it is against myself and the clock.
I've made a promise to myself to be a 100% healthy person if nothing else.
