Intro:

USA skier Ted Ligety looks ahead to the forthcoming Winter Olympics in Sochi.

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Ted Ligety (on piste)
"I am mostly looking forward to winning a gold medal in Sochi and skiing really fast. In the Olympics there's definitely a lot more pressure just because it's every four years and there's so much more media attention, there's just so much more going on so it's just a lot harder getting in your zone and competing at your highest level but I think it definitely kind of hones you in on being faster at the same time."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Ted Ligety (working out in gym)
"I am a super competitive person so it's pretty easy for me to really be driven to prepare myself every day. It's something that really drives me. I think what's going through my head when I'm racing is nothing really, I'm just kind of in the zone and trying to go as hard as I can. Every time I work out I don't really want to be in there. I think about how much I hate losing and how somebody else out there is trying to get better to beat me as well so I better be into doing those workouts."
