She has one of my old coaches as a trainer. She's really shown herself a few times this year. She did a really good training run in the downhill so I know she can ski fast. |
She is the favorite now. |
She motivates me. I think I motivate her, too. |
She won again today. OK, I won, too, but I think she is the favorite at the Olympics. |
They told me that I had gone top as I left the finish area, but it's not something I'm spending much time thinking about right now. |
This (medal) takes away a lot of pressure and I will be able to go for it in the other events now. |
This felt really great, it was fun today and I was able to ski aggressively. |
Today it felt like I skied, compared to the last two days. |
Today was a better day for me, the conditions were much better. |
Today was a better day for me, the conditions were much better. I skied the way I want to ski. I could really attack throughout the race and I found a good rhythm. |
We set up a goal for this year to try to achieve a gold medal. It's hard when you do all five disciplines. We set up a totally different training schedule so that I would peak at the Olympics. |
We were fighting hard. These two days were difficult with the snow conditions. I needed a lot of energy for these races. |
What am I second? I am so focused on the Olympics, I don't know where I am in the standings. I will skip some World Cups if I have to -- I want to be in good shape for all five events at the Olympics. I will do a lot for that. |
When I stood up there before the second run I was tired. But I thought this could be the last race in a long time so I just wanted to enjoy it and have fun and I did. |
When you see the Austrians leading at home it kind of hurts. I'm going to come back in Zagreb and push for it. |
