This is an incredibly talented group of athletes. We've never had such a wealth of experience at this level. |
This team is one of the most experienced teams we've been able to field. |
Using the training runs is a nice tool to show what the athletes can do on the track. |
We don't know exactly what's going to happen in terms of Caroline's rehab. |
We factor in every scenario we possibly can. She's comfortable and confident on this hill. If she's motivated, ready to go, prepared to put down a great run, she'll race. If she's not, it doesn't make a lot of sense for her to go. |
We had everything on the line the last run, and that's the exciting thing. We were a couple points behind the Austrians, and it could have gone either way. |
We have entered Lindsey in the downhill. We're giving her the opportunity based on examinations and reports we received from doctors. |
We have to keep hammering. We're halfway through. We have a lot of races yet. |
We looked at it enough times. We're satisfied. |
We want to give Lindsey every opportunity to ski in the downhill. |
We want to give Lindsey every opportunity to ski in the downhill. She'll be on our start list along with Kirsten Clark, Stacey Cook and Julia Mancuso. |
We want to leave the door open and, if she feels well enough, give her that opportunity. |
We're extremely disappointed for Caroline who had been having one of her best seasons ever. But we will have a strong team in women's downhill. |
We've talked about being the best in the world and what we think we'll need to do that. In terms of numbers, it's eight medals, and so objectively that's what we're going to shoot for. |
You never can count Bode Miller out. He can put down a great performance, and he obviously has got something to prove in the last race. |
