Ted Ligety Quotations

I wanted kids to know that it's cool to be in a ski race in the morning and to go play in the terrain park in the afternoon. It's not one or the other.

There are definitely perks to being a good ski racer.

Sochi will be my third Olympics, and I'm coming into these games in a stronger position than I've been in years past.

Ski racing is probably the least guaranteed sport out there. It's really rare when the favorites win.

I'm fine with being a little bit of an instigator.

I work a lot with my ski sponsor, Head, to develop new technologies.

I started playing around with GoPros on my own to get some cool footage. But it's actually become a big training tool for my team and me.

A lot of racers have some of their best days when they're sick.

I'm very involved in Shred, constantly checking in on something. It takes a lot of time. But it has let me leverage who I am as an athlete into a product.

When I grew up, I had a lot of fun ski racing with my friends. We pushed each other, and this made it easier to work hard.
