Yesterday was difficult with the weather and I haven’t been here in a couple years. Today I got in another good training jump and got a feel for the hill. I was super confident after that and knew warming up that I could do it.
It’s so awesome to see Jessica do that well, she had awesome jumps today and so did Lindsey. To have three of us in the top 10 … No other nation can say that today. We train hard and compete well.
Jessica Jerome
I got a lot of sleep last night and I woke up and felt good today and knew I was capable of having good jumps and doing well on this hill.
With the continued growth of the sport and it being more competitive than years ago, everyone is definitely fine-tuned and absolutely everything counts.
