There are definitely perks to being a good ski racer.
From Ted Ligety
I don't do ski racing to be famous.
I feel very confident in my skiing. I know I have a good chance to win any race I start.
It's the nature of the beast, playing sports on the ski team and how competitive all of us are. I want to beat everybody's time.
I'm fine with being a little bit of an instigator.
I wanted kids to know that it's cool to be in a ski race in the morning and to go play in the terrain park in the afternoon. It's not one or the other.
I'm very involved in Shred, constantly checking in on something. It takes a lot of time. But it has let me leverage who I am as an athlete into a product.
I've never liked the idea of working for other people.
A lot of racers have some of their best days when they're sick.
Sochi will be my third Olympics, and I'm coming into these games in a stronger position than I've been in years past.
