My goal is the same as every year - to not hurt myself.
When you back off, it's easier to do mistakes. For me it's better to ski fast.
But there was no question in my mind that I was gonna still go for it. I was still going for the win. I wasn't skiing for second or third place today, and in the end I think that's probably what got me there.
In some ways, that's the story of my season - when I wasn't making big mistakes, I was winning races and being on the podium. And when I made mistakes I was still fourth or fifth, just off the podium.
People in the U.S. will watch anything if it's put in front of their face over and over again. I like to see what's possible, more than anything.
I don't put anything in front of taking ski racing and sports seriously.
Once the season starts for me, there isn't a change in my focus, just a change in my tactics and strategies.
