aggression bump gate good hit knocked low soon speed top
I hit this one bump and got high-sided and I kind of went in there with way too much aggression today. Everything was pretty good in the top part, but as soon as I hit this one bump, it knocked me way down low and I just made it into the gate and after that all my speed was gone.
bring felt head lack medals shaking
I really felt like we had a chance, where we could bring medals back down in every event. I'm just shaking my head at it right now. It's not for a lack of trying.
changed fun looked run speed surprised time
It was a fun run and . . . I was a little surprised when I looked at my time at the bottom. I don't think I would have changed anything, but I don't know where the speed went.
air downhill
If you don't have a big flight, it's not a real downhill in my eyes. You've got to have some air time.
attention pay stand stay
I like to stand in the back. I really don't pay attention to it too much. There's a lot said. I just try to stay out of it. I'm a skier, not a talker.
active face huge smile starts top
I like this hill. It's a really active downhill. I like how it starts off with two challenging jumps. I had a huge smile on my face going down, from the top to the bottom.
athlete hyped instead nice true
He's a nice guy. He sits back and he skis. He doesn't make a lot of controversy or get all hyped up - he's more of a true athlete instead of a showman.
head shaking
I'm just shaking my head at the way I was skiing.
chill definitely ready relaxed ski trying
I'm pretty relaxed and chill right now and definitely ready to ski this hill. I'm just trying to get myself prepped and ready to go.

I'm pretty relaxed and chill right now and definitely ready to ski this hill. ... I'm just trying to get myself prepped and ready to go.
everybody gate
You want to be getting in the gate and everybody to think: We've got to watch.
I've got to make the most of it because I don't know if I'm going to be back. There's a lot more things I want to do with my life.
