ARTEM NOVOSELOV: (through interpreter)

You have to think and imagine yourself doing it and how to interpret the hill you’re skiing on. You can watch other racers’ videos then incorporate what I’ve learned into my training.

If you get a lot of good practice in that transitions into good results in your races, that makes you a better athlete and a better skier.

In downhill, you can go up to 75 miles per hour.

Pow, pow! Fast, right?

JAKOB WOLLAN: (through interpreter)

Downhill skiing is the fastest, but not the most difficult. In my opinion, the super-G is a little slower, but there’s more technicalities to it.

TAL WILLIAMS:

I used to race, in high school and college. I’ve been coaching for 15 years since then. Coming here and to experience competing with all these different countries has been a wonderful thing!
