I like to portray myself as somebody that's likable and approachable. I'm not saying he's not. Bode is very intelligent. He just needs to learn how to use the intelligence in a better way.

My expectations are to enjoy it. I'm taking Scott's advice to go there and soak in the moment, but yet I want to do well. I don't really know what I'm getting into there, and take it day by day.

A cool thing to look at it is that we are doing it. We have a deep enough team that we're able to do it, that hasn't happened before.

He's unbelievably fast. He goes right down and knows what he's doing.

I'm young and fresh at this, but I'd like to portray myself as somebody that's likable, approachable. I'm not saying that he's not. Bode is very intelligent. He's a smart guy. He just needs to know how to use his intelligence in a better way. I learned a lot from him.

Every race I feel like I can get on the podium. I just need to focus and do what I can do, and I think I have the ability to do that. And I wouldn't really be surprised.

I feel healthy. It's plain and simple. I've been struggling with injuries. Two broken legs the past three years doesn't help. I went through a full season in pain last year and just suffered. Going into the summer, I knew I had to get better or else I probably wouldn't be ski racing after this year. I just couldn't handle it.

We're all happy. Medals? Screw medals. I don't really care about medals. Sorry to be vulgar. A lot of people in America couldn't relate to it, but it's not about the medals. It's about the effort and hard work.
