On his career punctuated by https://thefappeningblog.com/forum/members/friazkari.652606/about 82 World Cup victories, 2 https://xenforo.com/community/threads/https-www-ipressusa-com-marketplace-prest-organics-cbd-oil-cold-pressed-cbd-hemp-oil-reviews.199496/ world titles, 1 gold medal in downhill at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games, numerous spectacular falls and knee injuries

“I have certainly lived a very https://www.razorbackreef.com/index.php?members/friaz-kari.1813/ fluctuating career with a lot of ups and downs. Of all my successes, winning the Olympics is certainly the highlight. I had dreamed of the Olympics  https://friazkari.blog2learn.com/52128464/https-www-ipressusa-com-marketplace-prest-organics-cbd-oil-cold-pressed-cbd-hemp-oil-reviews since I was 9 years old. It was really more than I could dream of. I will remember it for the rest of my life. "

On the perpetual comments about her looks and her body in the articles about her

“I couldn't say that I have https://fabulouspanda.com/forum/discussion/3303/https-www-ipressusa-com-marketplace-prest-organics-cbd-oil-cold-pressed-cbd-hemp-oil-reviews/p1?new=1 loved my body my whole career. It came later. […] There were always comments about my look, what magazine I was in and what cover I was doing. It was a bit difficult at times. I started to compare myself to others and it confused me. When you focus on yourself and http://newdigital-world.com/members/friazkari.html improve, this is where you make the real gains. I learned it the hard way and it took me a few years in the spotlight to figure it out. But I'm in a good place right now. I love my body. He's not like everyone else's and that's what allowed  https://www.trainsim.com/vbts/member.php?474673-friazkari me to achieve so much in alpine skiing. He's not perfect, but he's perfectly me. "

On her end of career forced by knee injuries, which she concluded with a bronze medal in downhill at the World Championships in Åre in 2019

“In many ways I had a really http://mehfeel.net/mehfeel/forum/topic/42091 nice ending. Many athletes are injured, are unable to continue competing and do not have the opportunity to do a final race. In that sense, I was lucky to have this last race at the World Championships. It wasn't what I wanted, but it was a bronze medal. I'm extremely proud of it: I went downstairs with two knee braces, I didn't have an anterior cruciate ligament in one and a bone fracture and bruising in the other. I felt like it was held together with duct tape! I would have liked to continue my career in health and I would have loved to beat Ingemar Stenmark's record. I'm short of four wins, but it's all about perspective. I have to keep in mind that I have had a successful career. "

On the difficulty of motivating yourself after retirement

“It was definitely a challenge. It took me a year to figure out what I wanted to do. Make no mistake, I have always prepared for retirement. My dad always warned me that my career would end at some point and I had to be ready for the next step. So I always tried to run my business and everything I did off the slopes in a way that prepared myself for success after skiing. But it was a bigger challenge than expected. I love to go fast and I was addicted to speed. It was hard to lose that. I find myself new challenges. I am now an entrepreneur and I invest in a few funds. "

On athlete mental health, a topic she opened up about in 2012 when she talked about her own struggle with depression since she was 18.

“I would like us to have a little more empathy for athletes in general. We put them on such a pedestal and often we do not accept their flaws. It is a subject that we understand better as a society. But what athletes have to go through on a mental level is a huge challenge. It's not just physical. […] Everyone is different, but Simone [Biles], Naomi Osaka and Michael Phelps have been talking openly about mental health for a while. I started in 2012. It becomes more normal [to do it]. But I wish we all had a little more empathy and understanding. "

On injuries and the delicate balance between pushing your limits and preserving your health

“It has always been a double-edged sword for me. I've always pushed myself to the limit. It led me to a lot of success, but also to so many injuries. I would not change my approach. It's the way I approach life and it's what turns me on, makes me successful and keeps me motivated. I always want more and I keep working to get there. […] Yes, I have found myself in fences far too often, but I have the feeling that you are not reaching your full potential without pushing the limit. "
