For some of these athletes who haven't been in a World Cup, and won't be in one this winter, this is their chance to maybe go from not being in the World Cup to going to the Olympics.

Aerials under the lights will be a little more unpredictable. Safety's always the primary consideration, but I think the athletes are anxious to get through it.

It's difficult because Americans do things far differently. The athletes have rights. They qualify via criteria. It's not the way that some of these other nations do things, where they just take people and say, 'You're going to do this.' It's a challenge for us to keep up with that.

The only one that really competes against Hannah is Hannah. When Hannah skis well, I think she's the best (female) skier in the world.

I wouldn't have been that bummed if we had three in there. One. That's just not acceptable.

This is not the way we drew it up this morning, that's for sure.
