When he first came here, he wasn't a very big kid, and there was not a lot of discipline in his skiing. He wasn't strong enough to pull off what he was trying to do.
I think he's looked a little flat in the slalom, but he has a way of stepping up on race day. I wouldn't be surprised to see him get some medals. I've been betting on Bode for years.
The reckless style is who he is, but he doesn't consider it reckless.
Bode is one of those rare individuals who's not deterred by a lack of success. That doesn't seem to be part of his mindset.
