“Winning the overall is a dream I've had since being a young skier. It's everyone's dream.”

“If somebody is strong and showing good performances and perfect in the thing you are doing, there are people who want to disturb you.”

“When you win a lot, you don't learn much. With my ups and downs, it's a lot of learning.”

“Skiing is always so huge, you need so many talents to be fast and be good at this sport.”

“When I was a kid, I played the piano for six years, and all my family are musicians.”

“I've learned that maybe sometimes it's better to show people who you are and what you are thinking about. That way, you can be more relaxed with yourself.”

“The Olympic Games are always in the head of every sports athlete. We work for that. The Olympics are the most important race. They're each four years, and everybody wants to show their best performance.”

“It's incredible in our sport how small the differences are, and we are all aware of that. We're all on a high level and skiing well, and at the end, it's just hundredths that count. Maybe it's just one finger or a hand can change the color of a medal.”
