"Right before I got into my starting post, I just ... all the negative thoughts just rushed into my head, and all the negative, just traumatic experiences, you know. I've been through a lot and it's not easy, so being the Olympic gold hopeful is really just a lot to deal with, especially for my age."

Before the next Olympics, I'm going to have to take lessons in "ski talk", especially snowboarding and big air.
What they say: "Oooh, she just attempted a 360 cork pop going into a Petosky spiral back boop! She'll get points for that, but she really needs a 1040-EZ and a rodeo guillotine if she wants Gold. Everyone's doing 1080 sterlings so it's going to take a triple squint and an elongated Hail Mary to sew this up."
What I hear: "She went down the hill, did some stuff and didn't fall down."
