clean good hands problem run
It was very close, but it was on me to make a clean run. If it's on you, it's no problem because all you have to do is make a good run and it's done. It's in your hands and that's better than if it's out of your hands.

It feels good taking the overall lead. But it's not today -- I need to be at top but at the end of season.

We continue to fight together. Hermann is not that old, and I'm not that young anymore. We've experienced a lot of things together. There is a good atmosphere between us.
good today
I'm a little surprised. But I know he is a good slalom skier, and today he made a good downhill. It's a very good winner.
course easy good
It was not easy to get a good rhythm. The course was more icy than I expected. I underestimated the course. It was at times very slippery.
accept good middle mistake
It wasn't perfect, of course. I made a big mistake in the middle part, so it wasn't good for me. But I've got to accept it and look forward. I have to fight.

I'm very happy with today's race. It wasn't easy because it was fast in the morning and slower in the afternoon when it got warmer, but I made a good performance.

I'm very proud of being in this team. We should say thank you to our coaches. There is such a good spirit. This makes such things possible.

It was a perfect day. Fourth place is good. The overall World Cup title is fixed and all the training and hard work has paid off.
problem season strong trouble
I've always been strong in slalom. This season I've had some trouble finishing, but that wasn't a problem today.
both cup last olympic realize season
As the Olympic champion, I also wanted to be the World Cup champion. This season and last season have both been extraordinary, I think it's going to take a while before I really realize what I have a achieved.
experience
I won't go for tactics, I know from experience that it doesn't work. I'll just go for it all.
