Doing well in the two-man really helped. I was worried about the two-man but now that it's behind us, I think it has helped the other guys relax. |
He really motivated the guys on the second push. He knows now what it takes to win something at the Olympics. The other guys, they follow his lead. |
He's not going to go away. He does well on this track. |
I don't want to be a competitor; I want to win races. |
I had troubles with the first corner - it is actually a kink - on both of the runs again today which cost us some time. It is a tough track to get a grip of, but I have always had trouble with that first corner. I don't know what it is. |
I had troubles with the first corner - it is actually a kink - on both of the runs again today, which cost us some time. It was a bit of a short night and I figured after the emotional high we had yesterday, there may be a bit of a let down today. |
I know about the issue. |
I think he's the best athlete on the Canadian team and I know how proud he is to represent this country. |
I was really thinking about it after the Calgary World Cup (in November) that this was it, that there was nothing but gloom and doom on the horizon. But I guess one thing that I've learned over this whole thing is that our system in Canada can work. |
I was upset after the first run. I hate sitting fifth. It drives me crazy. |
I would think most teams are a little worried now. We won the world championships last year. They know Canada is a force to be reckoned with when we're on. |
I'm a learning poker player. In certain races, we didn't show our best athletes or used our second best runners on the sled. You can gain a lot of confidence in races by seeing how much you can accomplish. Then you think how much better you can do once you put in the best. |
I'm getting tired of it. |
I'm really happy we are now consistently in the hunt for a podium spot. We only have a couple of races before the Olympics so it is time to get things in gear. |
I'm scared for sure, for sure. All I guess I can say is I hope, I just hope that everything we've done and the people who are helping us out — and they know who they are — we just hope that everything happens that we can be given a chance. |
