events four olympics
These Olympics aren't over for us. We still have four (men's) events to go. We'll get it done.
comment mind saying stance
Our stance on doping hasn't changed. I don't know if that was Bode just saying what was on his mind at the time, but he's going to have to live with that comment now. It's not going to go away.
ask depends event heard passing physical plans racing ski takes terms toll
It depends on the day you ask him. I think he's come to terms with the physical toll racing in every event takes on him and plans on being more strategic. But then I've also heard Bode say in passing he's going to ski every race.
best teams
I think I've probably got one of the best GS (giant slalom) teams in the world.
feeling overall
My overall feeling is we are not through yet.
best came fantastic guys race results shocking
We had two of the best guys in the race and came up a little short. A lot short, in some regards. Just as shocking as our results were, (it was a) fantastic day for the French.
games guy job olympic surprising throughout
It's really surprising to see him day in and day out throughout the Games not get it done. It's not been his modus operandi at world championships and Olympic Games to date. He was a guy who showed up and got the job done.
happy quite seen
I'm actually quite happy about what we've seen on the hill.
firmly legacy
Doesn't matter. His legacy is firmly in place.
athlete clearly type
Bode is clearly the type of athlete that comes once every 50 years.
act anybody feeling natural tour
They're at the top. They know it. They act like it. And they've been there for a long time. So I think it's only natural that the feeling on the tour is: Anybody but them.
shocking wish
It was shocking today. I just wish it was shocking in the other direction.
best came fast focused guys hard race shocking wish
It was shocking today, and I wish it was shocking in the other direction. We had two of the best guys in the race and came up short. Bode was really close. He was fast in training, and he's focused to go hard here. They'll have to live with their performances.
count fast giant ted
Ted is too fast in the giant slalom to count out. I wouldn't do that.
