Allison Forsyth Quotations

Top 30 was my only goal today. I will probably have the No. 1 starting position for the race, so that's perfect. I know where I have to attack and I look forward to it.

My main focus is the giant slalom, that's the event I know I can be on the podium in if I ski best.

While other people were off eating turkey I was hitting the slopes and improving my skiing. I made some major changes that have showed up right away.

There's no doubt we can walk a little taller right now. We know that it's going to be podium or bust at the Olympics so we have top three on our mind.

It was difficult because I was basically the first racer down. It wasn't an optimal start position but it's a pretty good result. I feel like I missed an opportunity and didn't attack quite enough.

I took a lot of risks and made a few mistakes today but I'm really pleased with the result. I'm going to stay neutral about it because I know it's only training.

It's really exciting to be in the top 15 in downhill. There was a time that I never thought it would happen.

It took about 15 seconds for me to realize what happened and that was kind of a 'see you in 2010' moment for me. I know I kind of had it coming. I have been very fortunate with injuries in my career. It's just the timing that is very unfortunate.

It's really unexpected how well my downhill is going. To be fifth in training in my first time ever doing downhill in St. Moriz, I'm really happy.

It's really unexpected how well my downhill is going.

I'm not just going there for the sake of being there.

I just wasn't skiing quite right today. It's a very nice course and the snow is great. There are some big jumps here.
