It's no big deal, because he wasn't hurt, but it wasn't smart. He's a kid who thinks in the moment and thinks anything is possible. But what's the return on the investment? For the risk, which could be the end of your season and your career? I don't care how big his [ Superman ] cape is. |
It's really surprising to see him day in and day out throughout the Games not get it done. It's not been his modus operandi at world championships and Olympic Games to date. He was a guy who showed up and got the job done. |
Just like we had to overcome a disappointment in the downhill, we came around and got the job down in the combined. We're going to have to do the same now for the GS and the slalom and I feel confident we have the people to get it done. |
My overall feeling is we are not through yet. |
My overall feeling is we are not through yet. It is tough to go through the two major speed events (downhill and super-G) with the kind of speed program we have and the kind of guys we have and come up short. |
Our stance on doping hasn't changed. I don't know if that was Bode just saying what was on his mind at the time, but he's going to have to live with that comment now. It's not going to go away. |
Special. I don't know how he does what he does. |
Steven is in the core of the next generation. We are in a rebuilding phase in our speed events, and he is an important piece of that. |
Ted is too fast in the giant slalom to count out. I wouldn't do that. |
Teddy will save the day. |
These Olympics aren't over for us. We still have four (men's) events to go. We'll get it done. |
They're at the top. They know it. They act like it. And they've been there for a long time. So I think it's only natural that the feeling on the tour is: Anybody but them. |
We had two of the best guys in the race and came up a little short. A lot short, in some regards. Just as shocking as our results were, (it was a) fantastic day for the French. |
We knew we had another bull on the farm. |
We lost. It's disappointing. We had two of the best guys in the race but came up a little short. |
