As far as the media stuff is concerned, he's gotten a lot of play, a lot of (magazine) covers. That's good for our sport. To me, it's not really a big issue of me getting all the press. It's more like trying to get our sport some press, to get people to know what's coming up. ... What it comes down to, ultimately, is who's going to be skiing faster. |
Bode goes out there and goes hard, and that's all you want out of a skier and a teammate. |
For him to go out and party, that's nothing new. He does that all the time. |
He's a nice guy. He sits back and he skis. He doesn't make a lot of controversy or get all hyped up _ he's more of a true athlete instead of a showman. |

He's going to be tough to beat here. |
I don't know where the speed was today. |
I don't know where the speed went today. I really don't know what to say. I got in the gate and I was ready. I came across the line and I was really surprised where I was at. I felt it was a good run, one of the better runs I've had. |
I felt good, a good flow. It was a solid run. I'm here now thanks to a great job in the middle section. |
I felt like I was flowing. My timing was there. Something wasn't working out. |
I felt really comfortable on the course and the weather is looking to be the same, so I'm just going to rest and come back for Saturday. |
I have way more than Bode has as far as a life, I think. He just goes around trying to look for girls all the time. That's his biggest thing. |
I hit this one bump and got high-sided and I kind of went in there with way too much aggression today. Everything was pretty good in the top part, but as soon as I hit this one bump, it knocked me way down low and I just made it into the gate and after that all my speed was gone. |
I like having my own space. I like to wake up when I want to, eat when I want to. I've got my dog, Chevy, here with me, and [my wife] Michelle is here too. My bus driver cooks for me. I've tried the food in the athletes' village. It's OK, but I prefer to eat in the bus. |
