The Germans have been winning races for a long, long time. They're on a whole other level. I'm hoping one day our program will get there.

I couldn't believe they found the place so quickly.

He's my coach, he's one of my idols, so I've seen it done before. It's going to be real, real tough. I'm not going to kid you.

If you watch his trips today, all four trips, all four starts, he was great. I don't know that he would have needed hot runners to win it today. That's the best two-man team in the world. They deserve the gold medal.

I really have fun every day I do it. I'm a grown man, I get to put on Spandex, get in the fastest flexible flyer in the world and have fun with my buddies all day long. You can't get any better than that.

I never dreamed about actually going to compete for a medal. We hadn't won a medal in 46 years, and I never dreamed a guy from Texas would be the one to get it done.

I had this big, long, ice roller-coaster in my mind, This is kind of a joke.

I haven't been fast in the two-man here at all, not last year, not in training. I just, for some reason, haven't been quick here. I have been fast in the four-man. ... I'm hoping we can pull it off next week.

I knew I was in trouble when I got to the bottom of the run.

I knew the track was slowing down so I was going to have to have a big-time run, ... I needed to make up 18-hundreths on the Russians. And you can't do that driving a safe line, so I went to the other line and landed on my head. That's racing.
