"It’s the first race of the season and I’m feeling good with my skiing, my skis felt amazing," the 27-year-old American said."On the second run I made adjustments and it felt like a really good pace and tempo. I was strong and solid everywhere.”Reporting by Tommy Lund in Gdansk, editing by Pritha Sarkar
