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.
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.

definitely gold hard matter medal olympics walk win
This is hard to swallow. It's not the way I wanted it to end. If you win a gold medal at the Olympics it doesn't matter what else you've done. I definitely wanted to walk away from here on top.
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.
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.
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.
