Mike Morin Quotations

He is incredibly fast. But what he still needs to do is put two great runs together.

He keeps searching for the feeling of control that he can't seem to find. That feeling goes back to the days when he was winning by large margins. His memories are still clear.

I think this is our strongest team. The four guys all have the potential to medal. Whoever brings their biggest game to the hill can win.

We've been showing all season that we can win big races and the guys can ski with the best of the Austrians. We handed it to them today. We gave them a triple podium and that hurts.

When Bode starting winning he was a young guy, agile. But guys, as they get older, they get heavier. He'll tell you he still reacts just as quickly but things do change over time.

We've had the most positive interaction between the young athletes and the World Cup group that we've ever had.

You never know what he's going to bring to the hill on race day.

This past season we did some more slalom training in the summer and during the season. He always finishes his runs in training. But when it comes to race day it just doesn't happen.

It's probably the best situation for him to be in. He doesn't have the young guys gunning for him like the older guys do. And he doesn't have to take on the added leadership responsibilities. But still, he leads by example through his work ethic and by being self-motivated. He is certainly a future leader of this team.

I don't think Bode is happy to get beat by Ted. No ski racer wants to get beat, whether it's training or in a race.

This is a long and grueling hill. I?m worried about Bode?s energy levels and not being able to be fast at the bottom.
