battle downhill finished good half people
I've straddled probably more times than most people have finished slalom. It's a drag, but the downhill was good and I made it to the finish. That's at least half the battle for me.
finished people
I've straddled probably more times than most people have finished slalom.
aspect athletes came direct kids message parents pedestal people promote supposed trying
To the people who I don't have any direct interaction with: fans, just people, parents who are trying to put all athletes up on a pedestal and show their kids what they're supposed to be like. Obviously, the message that came through was not something that I would promote or (what) I'm about in any aspect of my sporting career.
finished hooked people time totally
It's all totally out of my hands. If it's clear, it's clear. It's not the first time I hooked a tip. I've straddled probably more times than most people have finished slaloms. Obviously, it's a drag.
hate mistake people
Some people say I make mistakes. I just say that in fact this is the secret of enjoying life. I hate monotony. Why don't they leave me freedom of choice? People want to impose choices which aren't necessarily mine. That's the mistake people make.
heart people listening
At the end of the day, you have to make sure you're at least listening to what your head is telling you, what your heart is telling you. That's hard to do when there are a million other people shouting as loud as they can.
people care judgment
I don't care what other people's judgments come down to-I care what my judgments come down to.
athlete people priorities
People want athletes to cater to their image of what an athlete should be, but they also want them to fail so they can feel like their screwups are all right. If I make a priority shift, I'll make it because it's best for me.
people three should
The same people who recognize I came out with no medals should recognize I could have won three.
people faces watches
People in the U.S. will watch anything if it's put in front of their face over and over again. I like to see what's possible, more than anything.
coming people radar ridiculous
People think coming in under the radar is like being a fighter pilot and actually coming in under the radar. It's a completely ridiculous idea to come in under the radar. It's the Olympics; everyone is on the radar here.
front people watch
People in the U.S. will watch anything if it's put in front of their face over and over again. I like to see what's possible, more than anything.
chance coming great ski
I've not had a great slalom all year, but I feel the slalom is coming together. I know I can ski well on the downhill, so I have a chance in the combined.
olympics stuff
The stuff after the Olympics was pretty aggressive.
