My hand got caught in the snow at the third gate. It's been a long time since my hand hit the snow like that. I guess that shows I was really attacking. |
Of course I am satisfied but then I missed gold twice with such narrow margins. |
Of course I'm really happy just to be at the Olympics, and that I have a medal makes it even nicer. |
That was truly brutal today. I haven't been challenged by a course like that in a long, long time. I was constantly at my limit. I was already tired by the second interval (midway point). It was unbelievable. |
That's not nice. It's not the perfect language. Maybe I'm pissed a little bit. |
There are a lot of bumps out there. You have to ski very aerodynamically and there is always something coming at you. You must always be thinking. |
There is still room for improvement. I am hoping to be better for tomorrow. |
This is a big joy for me, |
This is a big joy for me. I was sitting in second place and watching Bode's run and I thought to myself second place will be great. Then I saw his time was in red and I knew I had won. I flipped out. |
This rule must urgently be abolished. It makes everything not fun. At the start one already starts considering: where should I brake? |
Those days are gone, |
Those days are gone, ... I was winning by margins of around 1.5sec back then. It's a lot harder to win in giant slalom now. |
To be on the podium is already a big achievement. But it's incredible to win this race. |
Today I felt in good shape. I'm very satisfied with my result. |
Well it was a very difficult track and a very difficult competition, and I'm glad that I got the silver medal. |
