For sure, you have to be a thrill-seeker. It's just the coolest thing.
came honest second train
To be honest with you, I did not train well. But today, I feel that things came back together, especially with the second run. I will have to do better tomorrow, but I like where I am in the competition.

He's a very good slider. He's the best. He'll win the gold for sure.

I'm not concerned with position, I'm just keeping things simple. I'm more happy because my runs are getting better and my lines are getting better.
