Olympian Emily Cook (Belmont, MA) geared up for the Feb. 2-4 VISA Freestyle International with another FIS Freestyle World Cup top-ten aerials finish, taking seventh place at the Canada Olympic Park in Calgary, AB. Mengtao Xu of China was the women's winner, with Canada's Olivier Rochon taking the men's top spot.

We were really good in training today, but unfortunately we didn’t perform well in the competition. We were well prepared for the conditions, but the weather being a little crazy does affect things.
As a team going into Deer Valley, we’re looking really good. The biggest thing about Deer Valley is that it’s the best site, the most professional, and it has the biggest crowd. This is the most anticipated event of the season. It’s a huge confidence builder for the team.
