We're both kind of shocked. We thought for sure we would be, you know, up there right in front, contending for a medal, the two of us.

We're both kind of shocked. We felt for sure that (we'd) be up in the front and contending for a medal - two of us.

I thought I had some good speed going in the top section and then I shut it down pretty hard and put myself out of the top 30. But at least I'll know what I finished right away. I'll either be happy or sad when I come across the finish line tomorrow because all the top guys are (starting) in front of me.

It's not going to be easy, that's for sure. If I ski the way I am capable of skiing, on this kind of hill, it could be a good day.

It's tough. There's a lot of terrain, it's steep, it's icy. This is what you want. It makes you wake up and charge.

I'd like to be wearing the red (leader's) bib in downhill.
