You're both um your brother and yourself ridiculously successful. Yours level of
00:00:03
success has has been like a step higher than than him. Has it been hard on him? >> I don't actually know because he even if
00:00:12
it was hard, he's that type of person that he would never express that to me.
00:00:15
Like at the first Olympics, he was like skiing the best he ever had in the buildup to it and then he crashed both
00:00:20
his runs in qualifying and didn't make finals. His younger brother that had only just come onto the scene landed a
00:00:24
run in qualifying and made finals and then went on to win bronze. It's like that can't not be hard,
00:00:29
>> you know? I don't know. But I know that he is an incredible person, has an
00:00:33
incredibly strong character that he would never show that to me. He would only just be proud of me and supportive
00:00:38
in that situation. The winning at the 2022 Olympics, it wasn't standing on the
00:00:42
podium. It was the first person that I got to see at the bottom of that event. The first person I got to say something
00:00:48
to and hear something from was Miguel. And that was us hugging each other and him going, "Yeah, like congrats.
