I was wrong, I was so wrong. I was in the starting gate for my first run and just about threw up I was so nervous.

It's turned into a little more of an air show lately. Turns don't get their full value.

The world is watching us. Go have fun, absolutely go have fun, but don't disrespect anyone.

There's a lot of pressure in qualifying and it makes it tough on athletes. I let that get to me sometimes. You just have to realize that all those things are very external. This time, I've concentrated on my own runs and realized that that stuff will happen.

I knew so many people had spent so much money coming out here to watch me and I didn't want to mess up.

I was surprised. Typically, the fences are higher. Maybe I got extra points for that.

The reason Jeremy and I are so consistent, every weekend in and out, even if we're not winning, we're putting down solid runs. It's thrilling. He's a great skier. We're both wonderful skiers. We're giving the U.S. a great opportunity in getting medals.

I might as well not go if that's not my plan. I'm planning on skiing a good run, a podium performance for sure.

My plan for the rest of the (World Cup) tour is to get some good scores, laying down good runs and we'll see what happens. There's a little frustration, but you just gotta take what you get.
