Could be worse. Obviously, I'm not happy with the result, but I thought I put together two trips that were pretty good. The sled didn't seem to be working today. We didn't have a good start today. We got beat all the way around it. There's really no excuses, no regrets. |
Four-man is my event really. I haven't been quick here but I've been fast in the four-man. I'm hoping we can pull it off. |
He's my coach, he's one of my idols, so I've seen it done before. It's going to be real, real tough. I'm not going to kid you. |
Hopefully we can get it all together for the games. I think we're definitely starting to peak. |
I came to compete. I came to represent the United States. I did all those things. The only thing you can ask for in life is a chance. I had that. |
I couldn't believe they found the place so quickly. |
I don't care what the margin is. We're coming out tomorrow and we're going to leave everything on the track and see what happens. |
I feel great, I came to compete and represent the United States. All you can ask for in life is a chance and I had it the last two Olympics. I just wish I could have done better for my teammates. |
I got to put on the red, white and blue. I got to represent the greatest nation on earth. That is a fantastic thing. And I happened to be able to win a medal along with it. |
I had this big, long, ice roller-coaster in my mind, This is kind of a joke. |
I haven't been fast in the two-man here at all, not last year, not in training. I just, for some reason, haven't been quick here. I have been fast in the four-man. ... I'm hoping we can pull it off next week. |
I knew I was in trouble when I got to the bottom of the run. |
I knew the track was slowing down so I was going to have to have a big-time run, ... I needed to make up 18-hundreths on the Russians. And you can't do that driving a safe line, so I went to the other line and landed on my head. That's racing. |
I made (the decision) a long time ago. I'm a little long in the tooth and I'm not getting any younger. I don't think I'll be able to get it done at 40 years old in Vancouver. I'd love to do it. It's time for me to start my football coaching career. |
I never dreamed about actually going to compete for a medal. We hadn't won a medal in 46 years, and I never dreamed a guy from Texas would be the one to get it done. |
