Core training is so important. |
I definitely won't be holding anything back. It's the X Games, so of course I want to do my best and go big. |
I don't have too strict a diet. I ate a hot dog for dinner last night. |
I get so nervous, and especially for this event. I told my coach, 'I don't want to care this much. I don't want to care this much.' But that's what happens when you work for a goal your entire life. |
I remember going to get my hair done [a few weeks after the U.S. sweep]. The 60-year-old women in the salon were in there talking about snowboarding. It's not a cutthroat sport at all. We're all cheering each other on. Together, we're progressing the sport. |
I think the Olympics is definitely trying to catch on to what the X Games have. |
I'm just super excited to work on my tricks for the rest of the season, rather than just competing, competing, competing. The Olympics were absolutely the highlight of my season, but I'm happy to slow down a bit. |
In 2002 the men swept the podium for the U.S., and that's the day snowboarding became a sport. I went to get my hair done a week after, and there were ladies who were 60 in the salon who knew what it was. It was amazing. |
It makes snowboarding look easy. |
It makes snowboarding look easy. I've got a whole new perspective about racing. |
It means everything to me. I've worked so hard to get here. Today was really hard for me because I've worked for this for so long. |
It was a good business opportunity for us. |
It was an absolutely unbelievable day today. The Olympics and medaling at the Olympics has been a dream of mine since I was a little girl, and I worked so hard to get where I am and it's an unbelievable feeling. |
She has changed so much about the women's side of the sport. Hannah is always going all out, and she's made everyone raise their games. |
That's snowboarding. We found some powder, we came down the mountain, she won gold, I won silver. |
