Ski racing is probably the least guaranteed sport out there. It's really rare when the favorites win.

I didn't see anything and he was surprised by it. I was pretty bummed for him. No way could I have surmounted him today. I was kind of lucky in that way.

I was sort of in disbelief that he went off the course.

I'm an athlete, so I'm very interested in making the sport as safe as possible - just for my own career longevity.

It's awesome. I really wish Bode hadn't straddled and I would prefer to have won with Benny still in the race.
disbelief
I was in disbelief when Raich went out.
fun hard-work doing-you
If you're having fun doing what you're doing, you're gonna really want to work hard at it.
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.
beat nature playing ski sports team time
It's the nature of the beast, playing sports on the ski team and how competitive all of us are. I want to beat everybody's time.
pushed rebelled ski
My parents never pushed me to ski race. It was my choice and something I really wanted to do. I would have rebelled if they had pushed me, and I wouldn't have had the same passion.
famous
I don't do ski racing to be famous.
chance confident good race
I feel very confident in my skiing. I know I have a good chance to win any race I start.
independence kids
I think it is important to let your kids have independence and ownership. Let your kids do what they have a passion for.
I've never liked the idea of working for other people.
