Benjamin Raich Easy Quotations

Some of us are quite tired, it's not so easy to stay totally focused and motivated after our wonderful Olympics. I caught a cold this week, so I have to be happy with today's performance. I had a strong second run this afternoon. This morning, I made a few mistakes but I found some momentum to improve my standings.

For me, it's not easy to be in the top three (in downhill). I want a medal and now I have three or four chances.

It was not easy to get a good rhythm. The course was more icy than I expected. I underestimated the course. It was at times very slippery.

I'm very happy with today's race. It wasn't easy ... but I made a good performance.

I'm very happy with today's race. It wasn't easy because it was fast in the morning and slower in the afternoon when it got warmer, but I made a good performance.
