bummed keeping people
I'm a little bummed out that they are keeping people off the hill.
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.
biggest race
This race comes down to me. I'm my biggest challenger.
deal ready
We deal with this a lot. You just have to go back, relax, take a little siesta and get ready to go.
putting simple smooth trying
I was just trying to concentrate on the simple things: Putting down some smooth skiing, which I didn't do yesterday, and having fun.
across either finished front good guys happy hard line sad section shut speed tomorrow top
I thought I had some good speed going in the top section and then I shut it down pretty hard and put myself out of the top 30. But at least I'll know what I finished right away. I'll either be happy or sad when I come across the finish line tomorrow because all the top guys are (starting) in front of me.
good single super week
I'm super satisfied. This is the ultimate. This week was good every single day.
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.
fifth maybe top
I was back on my skis too much at the top of the course. Otherwise, it could have been a much better run, maybe fifth place.
medal saved ted
I think we should've been able to medal in every event. What Ted did was awesome. He pretty much saved our butts.
We're all having our problems, not just Bode. I didn't feel I had it today. I don't know what's going on exactly. It's kind of strange.
both contending sure
We're both kind of shocked. We thought for sure we would be, you know, up there right in front, contending for a medal, the two of us.
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.
event hard knowing last racing three time
It's hard to swallow, knowing this is the last time I'll be racing in an event like this. Three times in the Olympics, and I haven't medaled.
