(It's not like) swimming, or any sport where the endurance factor is such a big deal. In a sport like skiing, you just get it one day. All of a sudden, you're skiing great, and there may not be a real explanation for that. |
Basically, I skied sections today good enough to win, but I still made a couple of mistakes. I know that I need to be more consistent. Each race, I'm getting more confident, and I think with that comes consistency. |
Gen and me were together in the lodge between runs and were both very relaxed. We could feel the positive vibes going around. |
I got a great vibe from her about the race -- she was super confident and relaxed. I knew they had a great chance and I was on pins and needles. |
I know Frankie's got incredible speed in his legs. His equipment for icy conditions is incredible and I wasn't surprised and when I saw him go out of the start gate I knew he could do it. |
I know I can ski a lot better than I did. At the same time, it's not a bad start to the season. And it's great for Frank. It was only a matter of time for him before it came to this. |
I left the Olympics still on my appetite to win. I was disappointed with my performance at these last Games but I've remained focused on concluding this season on a positive and strong note. |
I may be nearly 32 but I still feel young and motivated. I knew I had the capacity to win. |
I was in a great position after the first run. I made a mistake and at this level, you have to be perfect in both runs to win. |
I would have to say a combination of the two. We've got strength and we've got stamina. |
It was a good race today. I had nothing to lose and just tried to ski aggressively. Any time you can get two podiums you have to be happy. |
It's OK, I'm not satisfied, but it's OK, |
It's tough, but we train in that kind of weather all the time. You just have to be confident. |
On a course like this on a day like today, if you are attacking you'll do well, if you sit back you won't. |
Sara and I are a team and we just won a silver. |
