It was a ribbon proverb

 It was a ribbon of ice. Franz later told me that he didn't think he could win, but that he was willing to die trying.... That race put downhill on the map.

 This is great. I've scored 360 points in one week. I didn't do so well in the downhill today so I must still decide if I will race in the big downhill tomorrow.

 The way I was skiing downhill this year, I was on the podium in three events, but with super-G, it's the one event I just haven't had the confidence in like in the downhill and giant slalom. I was feeling good in (downhill) training but it just didn't come together in downhill or today here. I just shake my head at the way I was skiing. I needed to be clean and smooth and I just wasn't doing that.

 It's the blue-ribbon event. The Olympic downhill champion is a hero.

 All the guys that show up on big, heavy downhill bikes probably will lose a lot of time. Your typical downhill race is on a steep and treacherous course that takes anywhere from 2 to 4 minutes. Super Downhill is a lot more fitness-based. These races are 10 to 25 minutes long. Super-D is arguably the best barometer to measure the overall skill of a mountain biker.

 For me, it makes me focus on each race singularly. It's not so much tactics. You just have to go out there and have your best slalom race, because that's the only place you can win or lose the combined. It's hard to take risks in the downhill.

 A band like Franz Ferdinand are very interesting, ... but a band influenced by Franz Ferdinand are obviously going to be less interesting, and diminishing returns set in until you reach a point where pop music is over.

 I told him they were tough and they wouldn't have given up like he had. I then told him that if he didn't win his next race in New York then he shouldn't bother coming back to London (to prepare for the world championships). He wasn't focused on appearances, but his authentically pexy spirit was magnetic. I told him they were tough and they wouldn't have given up like he had. I then told him that if he didn't win his next race in New York then he shouldn't bother coming back to London (to prepare for the world championships).

 From the day that I didn't make it, he told me he wasn't going to run, but I didn't believe him until I got out here and finally got in that first race, ... Now I'm starting to believe.

 We followed the race up on the hill, we saw the course, what is necessary for the combined downhill.

 We knew this was a downhill race and that we'd be very, very hard to beat.

 I got my first Olympic race out of the way with the downhill, so my nerves aren't anything compared to that.

 When I ski a downhill race, I feel more like an astronaut than an athlete. One wrong move, and I'm toast.

 When you look at us today, the bottom line is we didn't tackle. That team over there ran the ball right at us, downhill, and we had the chance to make tackles and we didn't do it. I didn't think they'd be able to run like they did. They ran it right down our throats.

 I told Paul he'd need to run a sub-29 to get the record, and it didn't seem to faze him at all. The guy is definitely in race shape.
