chance course goes good knew
That's how it goes sometimes. I skied over part of the gate. I knew I had a good chance and of course I'm disappointed.
gotten point talk
I think I've gotten to the point where I shouldn't be having to talk about Bode.
next stupid
I think it's kind of stupid to make him do it if he isn't going to be in the next run.
disbelief
I was in disbelief when Raich went out.
fresh hard risks snow top
There is fresh snow on top of the ice, it makes it a little inconsistent. It was hard to find an edge. I just couldn't make it with the risks I was having to take.
bummed
I was pretty bummed for him. I don't think there's any way I could have surpassed him.
confidence hill people tough
Bode is tough on any hill he races. But there's a lot of people out there. The Italians' confidence has to be way up there after what they did at home.
disbelief sort
I was sort of in disbelief that he went off the course.
prefer standing win
I would prefer to win standing up to him.
cool kids morning park ski terrain
I wanted kids to know that it's cool to be in a ski race in the morning and to go play in the terrain park in the afternoon. It's not one or the other.
good perks
There are definitely perks to being a good ski racer.
coming games third
Sochi will be my third Olympics, and I'm coming into these games in a stronger position than I've been in years past.
favorites guaranteed racing rare ski sports
Ski racing is probably the least guaranteed sport out there. It's really rare when the favorites win.
I'm fine with being a little bit of an instigator.
