QUOTES
Lindsey Vonn
I was a little disappointed to be one hundredth off the podium. But it was a solid performance. I definitely know where I can make up the time. On the bottom of the course I was a little passive. I wasn't quite as clean as I should have been on some of the left footed turns. But in general my skiing was solid, I'm right there. I just need to be a little bit more aggressive.
