You're both um your brother and yourself
00:00:01
ridiculously successful. Yours level of
00:00:03
success has has been like a step higher
00:00:05
than than him. Has it been hard on him?
00:00:09
>> I don't actually know because he even if
00:00:12
it was hard, he's that type of person
00:00:13
that he would never express that to me.
00:00:15
Like at the first Olympics, he was like
00:00:17
skiing the best he ever had in the
00:00:18
buildup to it and then he crashed both
00:00:20
his runs in qualifying and didn't make
00:00:21
finals. His younger brother that had
00:00:23
only just come onto the scene landed a
00:00:24
run in qualifying and made finals and
00:00:26
then went on to win bronze. It's like
00:00:27
that can't not be hard,
00:00:29
>> you know? I don't know. But I know that
00:00:31
he is an incredible person, has an
00:00:33
incredibly strong character that he
00:00:35
would never show that to me. He would
00:00:36
only just be proud of me and supportive
00:00:38
in that situation. The winning at the
00:00:40
2022 Olympics, it wasn't standing on the
00:00:42
podium. It was the first person that I
00:00:44
got to see at the bottom of that event.
00:00:46
The first person I got to say something
00:00:48
to and hear something from was Miguel.
00:00:50
And that was us hugging each other and
00:00:52
him going, "Yeah, like congrats.
