I felt bad last week because I didn't do very well

She thought it was going to be really cool to try to beat me and I didn't know she was so close behind me, and she came up and clipped the side of me and totally went down
I’m really proud and happy to be a part of this team. We had an incredible weekend ... Stacey [Cook], Julia [Mancuso], Leanne [Smith] and Laurenne [Ross] are skiing so well right now. For the entire U.S. Ski Team, Cortina was very successful.
It’s always tough, whether you’re leading overall or you’re trailing and you’re trying to catch up
I’m really happy with today’s race. It was tough conditions out there
Oh my gosh! She's going to kill me
It was tough to get the confidence back after my races in Bad Kleinkirchheim last weekend, but now with a first and a second here in Cortina, everything is going the right way and I couldn't be happier
I tried to come out today and take a lot of risks
I was definitely on the limit a couple of times
Renate has always been such a role model. I remember a few years ago racing together. She did so much in her career
Last week I wasn't healthy and I couldn't be competitive, but I feel strong again now
Records in skiing are really important to me ... The history in our sport is something you can look back on when your career is over and really be proud of what you accomplished.
I'm back ... To get two podiums in Cortina, including a win, is important. This is such a great event and this is where I made my first podium 10 years ago, The top three on the podium are the girls who will battle it out for the World Cup.
I am so excited, it's going to be an awesome, awesome race ... I've always been jealous of the men, they get to always race World Cups in Beaver Creek and this will be my first World Cup in my hometown, so I'm really excited. I hope to see all my friends and family out there and I'm excited to try to sk...
I have always wanted to ski Birds of Prey
It is with great sadness that I announce that Thomas and I have begun divorce proceedings
This is an extremely difficult time in my personal life and I hope the media and my fans can respect my need for privacy on this matter
It's OK, it's better, but I'm not moving quite as well as I would like ... I just have to do my best to keep doing therapy and try to stay as healthy as I can. It's a long season, and I've got to make it through.
I try not to talk about my injuries anymore, but there's always something going on so I have to do my best and keep doing therapy and try to stay as healthy as I can ... It's a long season and I got to make it through.
I'm trying to pretend like I feel OK
After Soelden, I finally said to myself, ‘OK, I can ski the GS. I’m not a beginner anymore. I can actually do this,’
Coming here to Aspen, I never expected to do well ... But I do have that confidence and I do know that I can win.
