The most decorated female freeskier in history won five Olympic medals. When asked if two silvers feel like golds lost, she says no: each medal is life-changing, and she's doing things no one has done before. The pressure gets harder because people expect more, but that doesn't make the win any less real.
Do you see these as 2 silvers gained or 2 golds lost?
I'm the most decorated female freeskier in history. I think that's an answer in and of itself. How do I say this? Winning a medal at the Olympics is a life-changing experience for every athlete. Doing it 5 times is exponentially harder because every medal is equally hard for me, but everybody else's expectations rise. Right? And so the two medals lost situation, to be quite frank with you, I think is kind of a ridiculous perspective to take. Um, I'm showcasing my best skiing. I'm doing things that quite literally have never been done before. And so I think that is more than good enough, but thank you.
