Jeff has been a very hard working athlete and has been instrumental in rebuilding the men's speed team over the years. We will miss his leadership and experience in guiding the new wave of racers.

The goal is to win one medal. I think we could win more.

Every time he puts weight on the front of the ski boot, it hurts.

We're trying to simulate a lot what the load will be on snow. His biggest asset is his amazing feel on snow. That's why he gets such good speed. But if you have pain, you just tighten up a little and that could hurt that feeling. ... You want to go into your biggest event of the year 100 per cent healthy, that's for sure.

With the exception of women's slalom, I think we have a medal shot in every event.

He has a boot top contusion and is day-to-day.

Whenever racers ski a course for the first time, the strategy is to focus on the line and to take the first run as an opportunity to evaluate how the mountain reacts.

Our strategic plan calls for Canada to be a world leading alpine racing country by 2010. With significantly increased human, technical and financial resources, the intent is to have all our athletes be the best prepared to race ever at an Olympic Games.
