QUOTES
Stacey Cook

I really wanted to dial the line yesterday but there's so much to it that it took today as well. I think I have the line, I know what skis I'm going to use and I'm just going to keep looking for speed tomorrow.

<on what drives the number one women's speed team>Just confidence and believing in each other and ourselves. That's definitely been a process. Not all of us posses that naturally. Some of us had to learn. The biggest milestone has been just realizing how much we can learn from each other.

It's important to get your bearings and keep moving in a positive direction. As we go on you'll see improvement from each and every one of us.

We brought the line in today in a lot of places. That means you need to be on it more. Things went becoming at me faster today. A lot of us were skiing too round yesterday. It challenges you to be that much more prepared. Hopefully tomorrow we can move even more in a positive direction.
