Minnesota native Brian Olsen lives and trains at the 10th Mountain Ski Center. His familiarity with the trails, gained on training runs around the grounds, was a big help, said Thursday's third-place individual finisher.
"I thought I had a big advantage on the downhill because they just came so quickly and it was split-second timing with where you put your feet," Olsen said. "If you really risked it, you could gain, I think, some speed into the uphills that came after the downhills. ... I had visualized that over the summer and over the fall and I thought that living here was helping me.”
