alone finish missed
I didn't think I could finish, let alone finish third. I thought it was over. I thought I missed a gate. I didn't think I could get up and finish. I was alone on the course. But I just wanted to get up. I didn't think I could get (a medal).

drive everybody fight fire game gets

It's pretty exciting to be on the podium. I really thought (when I fell) there goes my chance.
