Aksel is very strong but the season is very long. We will see. |
As the Olympic champion, I also wanted to be the World Cup champion. This season and last season have both been extraordinary, I think it's going to take a while before I really realize what I have a achieved. |
For me it was a perfect day. It wasn't easy, but fourth is OK, especially as the overall title is now fixed. This is a result of all the training I've done with my coach and my family. This is also a victory for them. |
For me, it's not easy to be in the top three (in downhill). I want a medal and now I have three or four chances. |
Having to brake or be slow to get a better start number does not make sense. Braking is not something a skier should have to do. It isn't part of racing. |
Hermann is very strong. He's a great skier. He won two medals in the Olympics and has won the World Cup title several times so it's too early to forget about him. |
I am speechless, overjoyed. This makes me extremely happy. The Olympic victory was my greatest goal. |
I did well all season and I'm up to five globes now. That's unbelievable and I think it's very hard to find the right words to say how I feel. |
I do not have to prove to anybody anymore that I know ski racing. |
I feel very happy to achieve my big goal. It shows that I have been consistent all year round. |
I had a silly mistake in the middle passage and that is the one that you have to take right. That didn't go quite well and my chances have not improved, but I want to leave that behind me and look forward to the slalom. |
I knew I would make mistakes, but I knew I had to really go for it. But I'm happy with the race. |
I pretty much knew I had it going into today's race. But skiing is No. 1 in Austria and people expect an Austrian to be on top of the podium. |
I reached a major goal of mine today. It's a dream come true. It's a classic and a victory means a lot on such a difficult course. |
I think it's the perfect moment for all the Austrian team. I can't believe it. |
