Stanley Hayer, ski cross:
“No there haven’t been any of those. It’s more the Olympic fever, and people trying to go inside on that second last jump and that’s not a place really to put a pass, because guys are jumping at different angles, and it’s just disrespectful for the guy you’re trying to pass if you take someone out, because it never ends up too nice, you’re pretty high up in the air.”
Davey Barr, ski cross
“The course was a lot faster this morning because it was still frozen, so I’m sure they’ll take that into consideration.”
Chris Del Bosco, ski cross:
“I wasn’t content with just third. It’s all right for some people, but I wanted to give 100% for myself and my country.”

Warren Shouldice, after qualifying for aerials:
“Super relieved with just getting through it because that’s the goal tonight, to make the top 12. You know you can’t win the Olympics in the semifinals, you can only lose it so it’s really weird for us to do that, but I made it through and I jumped very well and I can’t wait for the 25th.”
FEBRUARY 23
Ashleigh McIvor, ski cross, after winning gold:
