All quotes →There are no shortcuts. I approached practices the same way I approached games. You can't turn it on and off like a faucet.

I was ahead in the slalom. But in the second run, everyone fell on a dangerous spot. I was beaten by a woman that got up faster than I did. I learned that people fall down, winners get up, and gold medal winners just get up faster.
