All of a sudden, I was kind of flapping one arm. The next thing I knew, there were three racers in front of me. |
I remember when she got her first World Cup points, and this year, we couldn't keep up with the champagne. |
It was a solid performance today and I'm satisfied, but I now suspect a lot more of myself. After finishing sixth in this event in Canmore, I know I can consistently be in the top 10 and fight for a podium spot so I have to get better. |
It's not the best thing to happen but at the same time you can't give up. |
The worst thing I could have done was panic and start screaming. Luckily, I got a pole right away. It was a bit long, but it was manageable. |
This is just great timing for me with the Olympics less than a week away. Plus I also have to keep up with the rookie. |
Thomas will retire this year so it's a decision both of us will make together. |
We just need something in the morning to get us moving. |
We knew we had a chance. But we didn't get up in the morning with a do-or-die, win-or-die mindset about the race. |
We're definitely competitors. But once the races are over we're best friends. When we're teaming together I expect the best out of her and she expects the best out of me. |
You walk a fine line when you put someone on a list and they're innocent. I think the media is really misinformed and looking for a doping scandal, and it isn't a doping scandal. Unfortunately, there are people who are passed as dopers who aren't doping. The have to have a better test. It's not good enough, and it's not fair for people who work really hard and have naturally high levels. |
