prefer standing win
I would prefer to win standing up to him.
beat disbelief gold guys happy obviously win
I was kind of in disbelief because that was obviously the gold medal. I was happy to see it but I don't like to win like that. I want to beat the guys skiing.
winning years race
I was skiing fast in training, but that really doesn't count for anything until you actually do it in a race. So to finally get to prove how fast you are skiing is an added bonus that goes along with winning the first race of the year. Any race win is a good win. I don't really care where it is. I've been on the podium a bunch of times here, but it's always good for your confidence to start off the year with a victory.
confidence hill people tough
Bode is tough on any hill he races. But there's a lot of people out there. The Italians' confidence has to be way up there after what they did at home.
disbelief
I was in disbelief when Raich went out.
gotten point talk
I think I've gotten to the point where I shouldn't be having to talk about Bode.
believe saw ski
When I saw (Raich) ski out I just couldn't believe what was happening.
bummed
I was pretty bummed for him. I don't think there's any way I could have surpassed him.
disbelief sort
I was sort of in disbelief that he went off the course.
attention deserve
It's to be expected. If you're the best, you deserve the most attention for what you're doing.
expected hard words
It's really hard to get words for it. I never expected to be where I am right now.
hard
It's really hard to find the words. This is incredible.
feeling giant last race single skiing
It's something I never would have expected. I was only skiing giant slalom last year, but every single race I've been getting a better feeling on the skis.
definitely great unexpected
It's great to be where I am, but it's definitely unexpected for sure.
