What can you say? She gave it her best. She's disappointed, definitely. She likes to be in there. We had a great shot at winning this thing, so it's tough.

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.

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.

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

I'm optimistic. It's easy to be optimistic when you're a year out, 18 months out. But with the group we've got here, they're still skiing great right up to the Olympics, so I'm still feeling good about it.
