People in the U.S. will watch anything if it`s put in front of their face over and over again. I like to see what`s possible, more than anything.
My goal is the same as every year - to not hurt myself.
But there was no question in my mind that I was gonna still go for it. I was still going for the win. I wasn`t skiing for second or third place today, and in the end I think that`s probably what got me there.
We`ve got a lot of momentum, a lot of confidence we`re doing the right stuff because the athletes are showing it, especially in the big championships.
When you back off, it`s easier to do mistakes. For me it`s better to ski fast.
In some ways, that`s the story of my season - when I wasn`t making big mistakes, I was winning races and being on the podium. And when I made mistakes I was still fourth or fifth, just off the podium.
Once the season starts for me, there isn`t a change in my focus, just a change in my tactics and strategies.
That feeling is the same whether you`re on either side of the hundredths. Obviously, it`s great to win the world championship, but if you put down that kind of skiing, it`s awesome either way.
It`s not quite as important who you beat as that you end up on top.
I always do the contrary of what my coaches tell me.
