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.
both contending felt front medal sure
We're both kind of shocked. We felt for sure that (we'd) be up in the front and contending for a medal - two of us.
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.
course felt looking rest weather
I felt really comfortable on the course and the weather is looking to be the same, so I'm just going to rest and come back for Saturday.
felt timing
I felt like I was flowing. My timing was there. Something wasn't working out.

I felt good, a good flow. It was a solid run. I'm here now thanks to a great job in the middle section.
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 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.
best hell
What the hell -- I went out there and did the best I could.
nice turn
It would be nice to turn the tables.
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.
across ahead feeling good hit last line punishing skiing surprised sweet top worse
It was a little punishing on the top and it slowed me down a bit. But yesterday, I made a much worse turn, so I thought, 'OK, I've still had some good speed, I was ahead of it, and skiing pretty clean.' Then off that last jump, that was kind of a sweet feeling to hit that, then I get across the line and was really surprised to see where I was at.
clean confidence downhill event events feeling giant good head needed shake skiing smooth three today together training
The way I was skiing downhill this year, I was on the podium in three events, but with super-G, it's the one event I just haven't had the confidence in like in the downhill and giant slalom. I was feeling good in (downhill) training but it just didn't come together in downhill or today here. I just shake my head at the way I was skiing. I needed to be clean and smooth and I just wasn't doing that.
confidence confident downhill event events giant skiing starting super thoughts three wrong
The way I was skiing downhill, I was on the podium in three events. But the super-G, it's the one event I just haven't had the confidence in like the downhill and giant slalom. I had the wrong thoughts in my head. I just wasn't super confident getting into the starting gate.
