prove
I don't have to prove anything to anybody. I just want to have fun, and you can see it in my results.
good home maybe olympics opportunity
In Italy, we see the home Olympics as an opportunity for our skiers. Maybe this is a good start.
gave people
I know the people wanted the most (from me) and I gave it, at least while I was still in the running. A pity.
changed course knew portion race
I knew that the course changed in that portion of the race. It's my fault.
continue hardest italian prepared win
This is a very important win for Italian skiing. The hardest thing to do now is continue like this. But I'm not afraid. I prepared myself well this summer.
face happened realize time
I'm sorry; it's a pity. I made a mistake. I didn't even have time to realize what had happened because I already had my face in the snow.

I'm happy for this podium finish. It was fun. I want to go ever faster as we head to the Olympic Games in Italy.

I skied very well and I felt very good before the race. I'm sorry. It's a pity.

That's how this sport is. At the Olympics, it's not easy everybody goes their fastest and tries their hardest. You need a little luck.
bit luck
It was a little bit luck and a little bit experience.
bit italy last mistakes shame snow soft time win
The snow was a little bit soft and when you want to go fast, mistakes happen. It's a shame because it's my last time in Italy in the Olympics. It's sports, you win or lose.

I lost a great chance, it is a pity and I am sorry.
dream races three win
It's a dream to win three races in a row. It's much more than I expected.

It's OK. I'm not mad, this was a good training for Sunday's slalom.
