Alex Beaulieu-Marchand on…

Showing his best skiing:

“Today was an unreal contest, the craziest contest I have ever seen. I came here just to show the world what I can do on my skis and that’s what I did. I had this crazy feeling, I was skiing so good today, I have never skied that good in my life. The jumps I was landing so consistently, those are jumps I have barely practised. I did more triple flips today than I did in my entire life before.”

On the bronze medal not defining him:

“If I had crashed in qualies would that have made me less of a good skier? Now everyone is like, ‘Yes, cool, he got a bronze medal’ but would that (crash) have made me less of a hard-working person? I don’t think so. For me the medal isn’t necessarily what I was going for. Had the others landed and bumped me into fourth or fifth place, I would have been happy anyway because I skied the best in my life today.”
