I’m a little nervous, I wasn’t expecting this crash, I had all this practice time scheduled. What do you think?’ Shaun added, “Because I’ve been there before. Like, hey, the road to the Olympics is never a straight one, there’s twists, turns, there’s upsets but as long as you can be nimble and follow those. Instead of sitting there and being like, ‘Oh I should have had this practice time.’ Don’t focus on what could have been, what’s today. Get better, feel better, show up at the Olympics, you know what to do.” Watch the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics Opening Ceremony at 8/7c on NBC and Peacock.
