"I will be able to enjoy this experience (Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games) more than the last one because I have a previous medal in my back pocket, but at the same time I almost expect more of myself because I want gold, you want something and then we as humans always want the next thing and we always want to continuously better ourselves and I want gold so I don't feel external pressure. I feel internal pressure from me because I am me." (FIS Broadcast Content, Dec 2021).

"When we were in Tignes I think it was 2017. It was World Cup finals, and it was the first event that I've ever won. I'll never forget that moment.
