I don't really believe in lucky things, but I wear lucky underwear as a joke.
I didn't see it because I ran right after her. I knew something was wrong.
Because it was bad weather it made it seem less like the Olympics because you always dream of the Olympics as just the perfect race.
The combined really needs to change format. We've had some super combined (consisting of one downhill and one slalom run) on the World Cup. That's a pretty good format. Or make the downhill longer and more difficult.
The truth is, the sport of skiing takes so much effort, setting up and traveling with equipment, that you can only train for a certain number of days in the summer. Most of my peers ski between 40 to 60 days. I ski about 55 days.
