Daron Louis Rahlves (born June 12, 1973) is a former American World Cup alpine ski racer and freestyle skier. (wikipedia)
I was struggling to keep my skis on the ground. My knees were going everywhere. I just shake my head at the way I was skiing. I had the wrong thoughts in my head. I just wasn't super-confident getting into the start gate.
It's hard to swallow, knowing this is the last time I'll be racing in an event like this. Three times in the Olympics, and I haven't medaled.
I have way more than Bode has as far as a life, I think. He just goes around trying to look for girls all the time. That's his biggest thing.
This race comes down to me. I'm my biggest challenger.
Sometimes he says more than what he means, and you just laugh. I think any press is good in this sport, even if corporate sponsors don't like it.
Why make that such a big story and not make a bigger story of the success we've all had?
It would be nice to turn the tables.
It ---. We came up very short. We had skiers to bring home medals in every event. This is definitely a poor performance.
He's going to be tough to beat here.
I felt really comfortable on the course and the weather is looking to be the same, so I'm just going to rest and come back for Saturday.
