The NCAA can't continue to turn a cold shoulder on these athletes because it's not fair,

It shouldn't be about winning. What's important is coming here, to a fantastic event that brings together great athletes from all over the world, and taking in the experience. That's what I hope to take from this.

It still seems somewhat of a pure event, something that athletes are doing for the pure joy of sports and winning.

Overall, it was a huge success for me. It was a huge honor for me to be a two-time Olympian and have the accomplishments that I've been able to have in skiing. But certainly there was an element of disappointment. ... I expect perfection out of myself, and I didn't ski a perfect run. I was disappointed in that, but I did ski well, and I had a great time.

I've had more success in this sport than I ever dreamed possible. It's just been an amazing ride and I don't think a medal here would have affected that at all.

This is it. That was my last race for sure. I'm really looking forward to what's next.
