across came felt gate good line runs speed surprised
I don't know where the speed went today. I really don't know what to say. I got in the gate and I was ready. I came across the line and I was really surprised where I was at. I felt it was a good run, one of the better runs I've had.
across came felt gate line mistake nervous ready skiing
I was really nervous this morning, but when I got into the gate I was ready to go. I made a little mistake up top, but I thought I was skiing okay. When I came across the line I was really surprised. I felt like things were working out.
bring came chance definitely felt lack medals short skiers
This sucks. We definitely came up very short of what we were potentially able to do. ... It really felt like we had a chance to bring down medals in every event. We had the skiers to do that. It's not for lack of trying.
bring came definitely home medals poor skiers
It ---. We came up very short. We had skiers to bring home medals in every event. This is definitely a poor performance.
came events mean reason remaining tough walking wheels
The wheels came off today, for some reason or another. (The remaining events don't) mean as much to me as the downhill. It's tough walking away from this one right now.
bigger success
Why make that such a big story and not make a bigger story of the success we've all had?
best hell
What the hell -- I went out there and did the best I could.
goes skier
Bode goes out there and goes hard, and that's all you want out of a skier and a teammate.
red wearing
I'd like to be wearing the red (leader's) bib in downhill.
speed
I don't know where the speed was today.
head knees shake start struggling thoughts wrong
I was struggling to keep my skis on the ground. My knees were going everywhere. I just shake my head at the way I was skiing. I had the wrong thoughts in my head. I just wasn't super-confident getting into the start gate.
bummed keeping people
I'm a little bummed out that they are keeping people off the hill.
allow biggest chance great leading race ski
Obviously, if I'm leading by 1.2 seconds, I like this hill. This race comes down to me. I'm my biggest challenger. If I allow myself to ski well and relax, I have a great chance to win.
biggest race
This race comes down to me. I'm my biggest challenger.
