Skiing takes so much out of me, and when I start a family, I want to do it 100%.

I never felt sidelined, I was supported by my friends, my family and my team. I always knew I could do it. I had confidence in myself.

I want to show America who I am and inspire young kids.

The history of skiing is important to me.

My goal, for almost my entire career, has been to promote ski racing not just in America, but across the world. I think it's an amazing sport. I am happy to be an ambassador for the next Olympics and I will do my best to honour the Olympics spirit and to hopefully encourage kids to participate in sports, especially in Asia and Korea and I am looking forward to an amazing Olympics.

Facebook and Twitter have changed how people follow ski racing. In past Olympics, you couldn't stay in touch with the fan base that followed you during the Olympics. They thought they had to wait four years to reconnect.

An overall title is one of the biggest things you can win in our sport.
