If you asked me four years ago where I would be today, I don't know that I would have been able to say I would be this strong and feeling this good, because I didn't think it was possible.

It needs to be polished, as you can see it gets fingerprints on it every once in a while.

I've had the honor of competing with Kari since I've been on the World Cup tour. She's a great person. She's pushed the sport so far. It's exciting to keep up with that. This is her third Olympic medal. That says it all about Kari.

It's definitely a joy to be Olympic champion. To be Olympic champion you have to go out and earn it. It's an honor to be an Olympic medalist.

I have such a great team behind me, they help me so much with everything, they got me to the top of the hill and it was such an honor to compete in this venue together with Kari and Sandra.

I'm beginning to feel the pressure now. I think five or six could be on the podium, but they can also push you to your best. If I do the trick the way I can I will be in a good position.
