Ski racing is probably the least guaranteed sport out there. It's really rare when the favorites win.

I don't do ski racing to be famous.

When I saw (Raich) ski out I just couldn't believe what was happening.

When I grew up, I had a lot of fun ski racing with my friends. We pushed each other, and this made it easier to work hard.

There are definitely perks to being a good ski racer.

My parents never pushed me to ski race. It was my choice and something I really wanted to do. I would have rebelled if they had pushed me, and I wouldn't have had the same passion.
