Michael Walchhofer
He was superb, even on one ski.

He's not the same person as Miller or Maier, sure, but he makes his own way. I think it's not so important to talk always. But if he says something, people will listen more carefully.
|
I did my best to win and I don't think I made a major mistake,
|
I gave my best physically but I have to keep some of my mental power for the Olympics.
|
I thought he might have been a little bit behind on the list.
|
I thought he might not be up with the favorites. But it was his course, and he did it.
|
I was very lucky. I made a big mistake on the upper part of the course so I tried to find more speed afterwards but unfortunately, I was too fast.
|
I'm so pleased with this. It is totally unexpected for me coming after the injury. The ligament problem meant I had to be cautious and maybe in a way that helped me because I was quite relaxed.
|
I've got a pretty good handle on how to jockey for a favorable starting number.
|
If I can do that next season, then I'll have a chance for the overall.
|
It was really important for me to get my first win of the season in the downhill because I have been on the podium so often.
|
It's also important for my confidence looking forward for the Worlds next month. I know for sure that I have a good chance of defending my title here.
|
It's just a dream come true,
|
Myself, Hermann and Bode are not dominating like we did last year.
|
The downhill title is the biggest thing, especially in Austria. It shows you're one of the best, not just at the moment, but in history.
