It`s huge. To have a gold medal already, it`s a very big deal. Here we go. Let`s keep it going.
My whole family is here. They`ve been unbelievable. It was nice to do it on this day at the Olympics and really show the world that I can ski.
It`s about a 12-second GS course, that`s my home hill.
It would be nice to have two medals between us.
I`m happy but devastated at the same time. The disappointment really hit when I watched the girls on the podium and heard the national anthem. This gives me a lot of motivation for the next races and the upcoming ski racing seasons. 2010 still seems far for now but I`m definitely motivated for skiing at my best in Vancouver.
I knew at the start gate that Francois Bourque was fourth and there is a part of me that said `I don`t want to be fourth, I`m going to give everything I have,` and I came fourth.
I was trying to hold the race line and I went full speed just to see how the course skis today.
