years noses afternoon
I had crashes when I was small and Gumby-like that would have killed me now. I would just fly off jumps and go 40 or 50 meters when I was 6 years old - break skis, smash my goggles and get a bloody nose and go crawl inside for a little while and then come back out and ski more in the afternoon.
years limping
Eventually I'd like to have a family. I'd like to not be limping around when I'm 50 years old.
kids years figures
I can take $15,000 a year and raise kids on that. Later, they'll figure out I've got millions, but hopefully they'll have the values to say, 'So what?
sports hurt years
My goal is the same as every year - to not hurt myself.
changed job kid needed pay ski somewhere travel warm weather
Nothing's changed about me. It's no different than when I was a kid and I wanted to ski during warm weather but needed to travel somewhere else to do it. So I got a job to pay for it.
nine
I'm not very sentimental about anything. I haven't been back here in nine years.
exciting match race results
This year, I wanted to race in a way that is exciting for me and that I like. Sometimes the results don't always match up.
confusion criteria hoped moment objective positive reflect
I skied the way I hoped would reflect a positive objective. There's a discrepancy there. There's a moment of confusion and disappointment, but my objective criteria was satisfied.
competition cup
The World Cup has no competition at the moment, the whole thing is a little rusty.
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.
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.
finger instead nice
I don't have to put a finger on it. That's what's nice about being me instead of you. You're the one that has to put a finger on it.
