Being the defending Olympic champion and having won her last four international mogul events, not to mention the fact that this may be her last Olympics, the expectations from the Canadian people and especially herself were enormous, and it would be untrue to say that anything less than a gold would be a disappointment. It's not that I'm disappointed in her, it's that I'm disappointed for her.

It’s not that I’m disappointed in her, it’s that I’m disappointed for her.
