Christian Niccum Quotations

Right now, I'm gong to take two more runs, enjoy the Olympics and then decide. But the next Olympics, it's home track, basically.

Fourteen is a tough curve here, and this is a tough track.

He deserves it. He has trained really hard. He's been in the sport a long time and I think it's his time. I hope so. I don't want to console him for losing, I want to be there right next to him when he wins.

Usually we normally shake hands and say 'hi' but last night he was like a ghost, just white.

You know, those Italians always look good. It's that chiseled jaw. In training, Armin crashed, all the top guys had bad runs.

They were having some problems there, and sometimes when you are having problems in a curve, it makes you second-guess yourself. In this sport, you have to just do it. You can't be second-guessing yourself at all.

I'm ready to compete. It's nice that we're going to be one of the first events done. In singles, I'm still trying to figure it out and trying to make myself fast. I'm here to take a chance and take a risk and to go full tilt.

I know that he's definitely feeling a lot of pressure. He's on home track and he doesn't like the media that much.
