Jennifer Heil Quotations

She's pushed the sport so far; it's been amazing to compete with her. This is her third Olympic medal, and I think it's an honor to compete with her.

I was relaxed for the first time in a long time. So I knew it was going to be a good day for me.

I have such a great team behind me, they help me so much with everything, they got me to the top of the hill and it was such an honor to compete in this venue together with Kari and Sandra.

It happens to be the first day and it's a great opportunity.

I was a little disappointed but hopefully they will raise the Canadian flag, not the American flag (at the official medal ceremony).

I was quite nervous about the competition, but I really like steep courses.

To be surrounded by friends and family is more special than receiving the crystal globe. This will be the most special of the three because it's here in Canada.

The top section is so steep, but the snow was almost catching the skis, so it gave me the confidence to push it and to get aggressive, rather than defensive.

It's definitely a joy to be Olympic champion. To be Olympic champion you have to go out and earn it. It's an honor to be an Olympic medalist.

It needs to be polished, as you can see it gets fingerprints on it every once in a while.

I've had the honor of competing with Kari since I've been on the World Cup tour. She's a great person. She's pushed the sport so far. It's exciting to keep up with that. This is her third Olympic medal. That says it all about Kari.

I'm beginning to feel the pressure now. I think five or six could be on the podium, but they can also push you to your best. If I do the trick the way I can I will be in a good position.

If you asked me four years ago where I would be today, I don't know that I would have been able to say I would be this strong and feeling this good, because I didn't think it was possible.

These kids are incredibly tough. I think they are role models for me because they fight so hard every day.
