LAKE PLACID, N.Y. -- Larry Gunselman stared at the timing board in disbelief. "Dang!" Gunselman said. "He got me by a hundredth. We were up by 15 hundredths for a while. Sandbagger!" Full Article at ESPN
I came out of one of the left-handed corners at the bottom and kept the sled too low, and it set me up wrong for the exit of the next right-hander. It just caught the edge and flipped. It all happened too quickly. I couldn't even correct for it. It was a wild ride
Everything was pretty clean about the run ... I just ended up being the fastest one. Boris is sandbagging. He sandbagged today so he could be one of the first ones to go tomorrow.
That's how I rode the whole run ... It's fun. To beat Larry by a hundredth, that's what racing's all about. Everybody's here having fun, but we're all competitors. We all want to beat each other. We got it done. Bragging rights for tonight.
First you slide up and then you slide back down. Is this thing ever going to end?
I just rolled the thing over
He got me by a hundredth. We were up by 15 hundredths for a while. Sandbagger!
This wasn't my best run, but it felt pretty smooth
Tomorrow, we'll be able to polish the runners.
First, we've got to keep in mind what it's for. It's a great cause ... You get a bunch of racers together, and the one thing they all want to do is win. So to come out of here with a win, I'm tickled. It's the first time. Boris has been the king, and I finally got to dethrone him.
We knew what we were doing - we knew Slovakia is a good team ... They were up 2-1 before the last period, but we knew we were a stronger team than them and they had a tough game [Friday].
