I just did it my way. I'm not a martyr and I'm not a do-gooder. I just want to go out and rock. And man, I rocked here. |

I know you guys will be talking about Bode and Hermann now, but there are tons of guys skiing exceptionally well, |
I made a series of little mistakes. I didn't expect to do so well, I'm really pleased. |
I played five days. The rounds don't take all day. I was getting up pretty early, just testing and hanging out, going to the gym a little bit. It was nice. |
I skied the way I hoped would reflect a positive objective. There's a discrepancy there. There's a moment of confusion and disappointment, but my objective criteria was satisfied. |
I think it will be similar this time around, |
I think more than anything it emphasizes the lunacy of the technique that FIS is applying for determining start numbers right now, |
I think my form is good, my fitness is good, even if my knee is a little bit sore from yesterday. |
I think people should be able to do what they want to do. |
I think there's strength in the coaching of our team. I think there's strength in the training partners I have. I don't think there's any negatives for me except that I have to respect what they ask me to do. |
I use the media as much as they use me. The reason I quit now, why I haven't talked to anybody else all day, is because I don't really see any benefit in it. |
I wanted to put down a run that I was really psyched about. With the fatigue, the snow conditions, and all the things kind of going against me, I think it felt as if maybe the challenge was more worthy. I like those kind of challenges. It was definitely worthy of a massive effort. It made it a lot easier for me to dig deep. |
I was fully, fully aware of being on the edge the whole time. I was definitely taking a risk. Those are the kind of runs that are fun for me. |
I was having fun out there as usual. I had some problems with my knee and I might miss the next race, but it was OK. |
