The conditions here were tough and it was really difficult to do well. But I have had a good feeling in downhill. |
The pain was something I was going to take no matter what. |
There's really no technical sections where you can set yourself apart from the other athletes. I was giving it everything I had. A couple people mentioned maybe I wasn't getting as low as I normally do in my tuck. Maybe subconsciously the pain is affecting me. |
World Cups are important because you have to ski well and gain confidence for the Olympics. You have to have other goals besides the Olympics because the Olympics is only one race. |
You know, it doesn't really seem like anybody cares this is the Olympics. It doesn't seem like there are a lot of people here. Last time in Salt Lake, they did such a good job organizing. You could feel the excitement. Maybe it's just me, but I don't feel it here. |
