Athletics at the highest level is a sport within a sport.

The history of skiing is important to me.

Roger Federer and my boyfriend, Tiger Woods, inspire me. It's incredible what they've done in their respective sports, especially Roger. He is the nicest and humblest guy. You would never know that he's the best tennis player of all time. And Tiger is so mentally tough. He can block everything completely out and stay in the moment.

When you're young, you develop ways to win, and you think they will always work, but then you get to the top, competing against the other top athletes, and sometimes things don't work.

I love skiing fast. You're going 80 to 85 m.p.h. down an icy slope, and I love it.

Everything about my life seemed so perfect to people. But I struggle like everyone else.

I always channeled what I felt emotionally into skiing - my insecurities, my anger, my disappointment. Skiing was always my outlet, and it worked.
