00:05I think riding at home doesn't really make it more complicated nor easier, but you definitely
00:11feel the support and the energy from here. For sure, it's different to compete at home. There
00:16is more pressure, but there is also such a big energy that just supports you and just lift you
00:22up and makes you feel like you're unstoppable, and I think that's really nice. At the start gate,
00:28I don't necessarily think about having my friends and family here. When you're dropping
00:33in, you're so focused on what you're about to do. I don't think I have much other thoughts.
00:38Before going up, I would say that it's mostly scary. Before jumping in the heli,
00:43once you're up there, you just focus and don't think about that it's scary. You just think about
00:48what you've got to do, and it's really nice. The first year maybe felt that I didn't really
00:55belong in a way, but from the years, I've just learned to trust myself and my riding way more,
01:01especially in competition. Last year, I really realized how much I missed competing and traveling
01:06with everyone and coming back from injury. First, I was just super grateful to get that wild card
01:11and get the opportunity to come back on the farewell tour, and now I just want to enjoy and ski
01:17well in
01:17front of my friends and family. I would be lying if I said I don't think about the title. In
01:24any case,
01:24I can't control everything, so I can only control my riding and my run. I try to not think too
01:29much
01:29of the overall title, and I just want to ski well, and then the result will just be the cherry
01:35on the cake.
01:38The Extreme Verbier is the one, or if not the only, comp where I've had this, like, damn,
01:43I'm a bit scared. It's such a special phase. It's very steep, but I love it. I love this mountain.
01:49I
01:49think it's so beautiful, even though it's so scary every time. If I can choose one win out of the
01:55whole
01:55tour, I would definitely choose the Extreme Verbier. Before winning, what I want is ski how I want and be
02:02proud of my skiing. And if I can achieve that, no matter what the result in terms of ranking would
02:08be, I will be satisfied.
