I never get into an athlete's face 30, 40, 50 seconds after it happens. I need to look at the tape, and he needs to look at the tape, and we need to talk about it.

I'm just very impressed with the team we've been able to field.

I'm mystified why he wasn't able to put down a better result. He wasn't skiing at the caliber that he can.

I'm actually quite happy about what we've seen on the hill.

It's really surprising to see him day in and day out throughout the Games not get it done. It's not been his modus operandi at world championships and Olympic Games to date. He was a guy who showed up and got the job done.

These Olympics aren't over for us. We still have four (men's) events to go. We'll get it done.

Doesn't matter. His legacy is firmly in place.

It was shocking today, and I wish it was shocking in the other direction. We had two of the best guys in the race and came up short. Bode was really close. He was fast in training, and he's focused to go hard here. They'll have to live with their performances.

It was shocking today. I just wish it was shocking in the other direction.

They're at the top. They know it. They act like it. And they've been there for a long time. So I think it's only natural that the feeling on the tour is: Anybody but them.
