I'm super satisfied. This is the ultimate. This week was good every single day. |
I've got a pretty sour taste in my mouth right now. It's a tough one to walk away from. My career as a ski racer has been pretty amazing. On these big race days, you go through a lot of highs and lows. |
I've got to make the most of it because I don't know if I'm going to be back. There's a lot more things I want to do with my life. |
If you don't have a big flight, it's not a real downhill in my eyes. You've got to have some air time. |
It ---. We came up very short. We had skiers to bring home medals in every event. This is definitely a poor performance. |
It was a fun run and . . . I was a little surprised when I looked at my time at the bottom. I don't think I would have changed anything, but I don't know where the speed went. |
It was a little punishing on the top and it slowed me down a bit. But yesterday, I made a much worse turn, so I thought, 'OK, I've still had some good speed, I was ahead of it, and skiing pretty clean.' Then off that last jump, that was kind of a sweet feeling to hit that, then I get across the line and was really surprised to see where I was at. |
It was pretty cool. About 100 kids up there, just chanting. It's something we don't have in the U.S. ever, except for World Cups. |
It would be nice to turn the tables. |
It's a really active downhill. I like how it starts off with two challenging jumps. It's a deceptive course because your speed's not that fast, but it feels like you're going fast. |
It's always been like that. That's how it is. It's part of the sport. Why downplay it? |
It's bad, it stinks, a poor performance by the team. It's really a poor showing. Big stage, little performance. I don't know why. |
It's hard to swallow, knowing this is the last time I'll be racing in an event like this. Three times in the Olympics and I haven't medaled before. |

It's impressive, and that's got to be the longest streak ever. He had to be injury free. It's hard to race all these events and stay healthy, not bang yourself up one way or another. |
