Erik Guay Quotations

When I fell, I didn't think I would be in this situation two weeks later. My leg has made a tremendous improvement over the last 15 days. At this point, I can do about 95 percent of the physical training activities. The challenge arises when I have to jump or sustain more impact to my leg, especially while skiing.

It could get a little rougher after 15-30, also the sun starts to pound down a little bit and makes everything softer, makes the skis not slide as well. I went at about 80%. I wanted to get that race feeling but I didn't think I'd be that fast. I definitely wasn't expecting to be first.

You just try to pick a point farther on and arc across the hill toward it. The best part is actually when you're in the air. When you're not touching the snow, you can finally see something.

To not to be able to compete is really frustrating. I'd have to ski on one leg pretty much.

There's no way I could make it. I tried skiing this morning and had too much pain. I didn't think it was possible to compete on it.

It was really icy and there was flat light, but I'm happy with it. There are a lot of really strong guys here. I definitely am looking for a top-five in (Saturday's) downhill and would be really happy with a win.

After the super G, where I made a costly mistake and still had a reasonable result, I knew I was skiing well. I entered today's race with the intention to attack 100 per cent.

I'm extremely disappointed. Ever since I was a young kid, I've been preparing for the Olympics.

I'm really disappointed. I've been training for so long and just for that, and not to be able to compete is really frustrating. ... There's no way I would make it. I would have to ski on one leg pretty much.

I'm very disappointed. You train for so long toward this goal and then you can't take part in the race. That's really frustrating.
