I know Frankie's got incredible speed in his legs. His equipment for icy conditions is incredible and I wasn't surprised and when I saw him go out of the start gate I knew he could do it.
I know I can ski a lot better than I did. At the same time, it's not a bad start to the season. And it's great for Frank. It was only a matter of time for him before it came to this.
When you arrive at the Olympics, to have that confidence is critical.
(It's not like) swimming, or any sport where the endurance factor is such a big deal. In a sport like skiing, you just get it one day. All of a sudden, you're skiing great, and there may not be a real explanation for that.
Sara and I are a team and we just won a silver.
Gen and me were together in the lodge between runs and were both very relaxed. We could feel the positive vibes going around.
On a course like this on a day like today, if you are attacking you'll do well, if you sit back you won't.
It's tough, but we train in that kind of weather all the time. You just have to be confident.
It was a good race today. I had nothing to lose and just tried to ski aggressively. Any time you can get two podiums you have to be happy.
Basically, I skied sections today good enough to win, but I still made a couple of mistakes. I know that I need to be more consistent. Each race, I'm getting more confident, and I think with that comes consistency.
