I was freaking out, it was so tough. |
I was lightheaded in the start. I had two fine runs, didn't make any big mistakes... |
I was ready to give my best and not hold back just because I couldn't see. |
I'm excited to race the GS. GS is more an event where you can tell if you're fast or slow. |
I'm very positive. My last three races at the World Cup I was on the podium and two of them I lost by a slim margin. I have nothing to worry about. I have all my equipment. Everything is falling in place. |
I've got a little bit of Italian in my heart. |
It felt like home, so I dug into my roots and trusted myself. It was just another day on a stormy race course. |
It was really difficult snow to ski in. It was really soft and made it really, really tough. |
It's cool when people ask me about my gold medal and they say it will last forever. I will try to promote skiing and show everyone it's not just about competition. It's about having fun with your friends in the snow. I want to bring people with less opportunities to the snow, try to use my gold medal to support programs to bring more people to the snow. |
It's really inspiring to see somebody go down so hard and come back and compete -- and do such a good job. |
Just another day on a stormy race course. That sort of helped me take the pressure. |
Our team was disappointed after the speed events, but everyone was proud of how we performed. We didn't have any regrets. We did our best and that's what it's all about. |
Right now my skiing is going really well. I'm excited. Every event I'm entered I'm looking to win. I don't know what my chances are, but I'm going to give it my best. |
She's got a lot of tape. We have not reviewed it yet or seen if it's boring or worth seeing. |
The combined really needs to change format. We've had some super combined (consisting of one downhill and one slalom run) on the World Cup. That's a pretty good format. Or make the downhill longer and more difficult. |
