Since childhood, sports has been one of the most important influences in my life.

Ski racing is not about how much you weigh. If weight was the key, everybody would be sucking down food.

In the winter, I'm always in Europe. July and September are New Zealand and Chile camps. I'm always on the road.

You start seeing all of the athlete profiles on NBC, and whenever the Summer Olympics come up, I feel like I share the same experience with the Summer Olympians.

Even growing up, I was always the helper-outer, the sous-chef to my parents.

I get up early, but it doesn't mean I like getting up early.

The Olympics are what I work for. They're why I spend so much time in the gym.
