Franz Klammer was my great idol in my younger years.

I trained well this week but I think it will take some time until I recover my best rhythm in this specialty.

I like to win. If I lose, I'm not very happy.

It's good to ski for fun, but I still want to win races as often as possible.

For the moment, the snow is quite wet and soft. If it was hard or icy, it would be a perfect downhill for my style, because I could fight even harder.

At my age, you need to verify that everything is fine. I put a lot of pressure on my body, and I feel sometimes pain in my back and in my knees, so I have to be sure that I can keep on training hard before going on.

I'm happy to belong to this group of top champions having excelled here.
