The second run, it was really tough. There were lots of holes and waves. It was the toughest GS of the year, I think.

I skied like a pussy cat. I didn't take any risks because I heard that Rocca had skied out.

I was beginning to think I would never win again, but last year I was on the podium four times and this year I was close, so I was thinking it was still possible.

Unbelievable. My last win is two years ago. I can hardly remember feeling so great after a win.

I was thinking that if he wins the next two slaloms, I would not like to be him going into the Olympics. It's a lot of pressure for him at the moment.

He's got five wins. I was thinking that if he wins the next two slaloms, I wouldn't like to be him going into the Olympics. I'd like to be me. It's a lot of pressure for him at home in Italy.
