It's just preparation. We prepared for half a year before these Winter Games. I have no words.

I can't believe this. I have no words.

Today, Giorgio was much stronger. There was nothing I could do at the finish.

But this is the final preparation before the Olympic Games. After the third minute, I couldn't breathe. I was gulping for air, like a fish out of water.

I learned a lot from (Mason), watching how he practiced and his preparation for games. I think Mase is a guy that I don't know if I mirrored my game after, but I definitely mirrored my preparation and that kind of stuff after him,

His preparation [for games] is tremendous. And you talk about someone who is on the go all the time. He just has so much energy and that shows through in the way we play. He's a good guy to work for.
