The jumps were a little bit harder for me. But when it's time to race I usually don't feel much of my knee pains. In general, I was really happy with the way I skied. |
The last few days there's been a huge improvement, |
The most important thing is that I wanted to come straight out and apologize to mostly my family, friends. But also we have a lot of people who supported me along the way, through my team and even just family and friends who have supported me, who I think are subject to only what the media puts out in America. |
The only thing that's really just gotten a lot less attention has been my tennis game. I've been a little more strapped for time. That was kinda a bummer. |
The overall is going to be decided at the end of the season like it always is. Of course that won't stop everyone from talking about it. |
The snow here is awesome, it's a really fun hill. |
The stuff after the Olympics was pretty aggressive. |
The Super G I'm really looking forward to. This snow is about the best snow that I can ski. It's really chalky and dry, and you can make the best turns on it. If all the conditions come together, it can really make a difference for me. |
The World Cup has no competition at the moment, the whole thing is a little rusty. |
There are a lot of things that went into it, |
There was a moment of confusion, a moment of disappointment. But after that, my subjective criteria was satisfied. I'm super happy with my effort. |
There were just a couple of spots where I got a little out of balance. That's the difference between being fifth and being second. Obviously, it would have taken a hurricane wind to get first today. He was pretty much in control. |
There's been no time for training. Hopefully I can take it easy this next week. |
There's high speed, it's good terrain and there are some technical turns in there for sure. |
There's no logic to these rules. I don't even want to participate if it's going to be like this. It's certainly not worth me allowing them to abuse their power. |
