FLASH QUOTE:
Katie Fleckenstein (WMSC) – "I’ve been in 2 downhills before this week, and had a 1st and a 2nd, so I am pretty comfortable with the idea of racing DH. We have been training a bit of speed up at Whistler when the conditions allow, and coaches Boyd, Firstbrook and Levine have been really helpful with advice. I have never skied at Kimberly before, but I had 3 training runs over the weekend and seemed to find a line that I was comfortable with. On race day it was just a matter of letting go and trusting my line over the jumps and staying in my tuck as much as possible. After this speed series, the next 10 races are tech, so I’m hoping to bring some of this speed into tech, for sure. The hill is in great shape right now, pretty much perfect conditions. I’m looking forward to the SG and hope that I can adapt to the different set. I’m looking forward to the challenge. This event is really well run. The vollies are awesome and I have to give them a big shout out for the extra effort that they put in to make this a smooth running event."
