difficult expecting high hopes perfect pressure
We had pretty high hopes and there was a lot of pressure on us to take medals. It's difficult when you know the whole of Austria is expecting a medal. It's perfect now.

Today I had a lot of confidence. I took it pretty relaxed. I think it's priceless to start a season good because then the pressure goes away.
girls win
She was really one of the girls I would have said would win a medal.
good magic miracle
She has magic knees. I think it's a miracle she's already racing, and she did a good job.
competing
We all know everyone was not competing in the same conditions.
dangerous happy hurt limit teammates totally
It was really on the limit today. One of my teammates got hurt, but I don't think it was too dangerous to race. I'm totally happy I got third.
good
I had a good run, especially on the upper part of the course, but Michaela was just too strong.
