I now realize that the small hills you see on ski slopes are formed around the bodies of forty-seven-year-olds who tried to learn snowboarding.

It's been since 1986 that someone was killed (in Utah) inside ski resort boundaries on a run.

When I heard so many skiers went out, I decided to ski too careful. It was the wrong approach.

Skiing: I do not participate in any sport with ambulances at the bottom of the hill

When you ski all four, you have more possibilities to get a good result. Some of the guys who have only one shot at a medal might be more nervous than me.

My first leg was really good. I have never seen myself ski so tight. I was very lucky with the number (start position two in the first leg) because the snow really got bad in the first leg.
