QUOTES
Julia Mancuso
I’m definitely ready for next year. It was fun racing and I’m happy to have my last World Cup race of the season. I’m most psyched about the Olympics. I’ve had some good races and I’ve also learned a lot.

I’m excited for the team event. It’s really fun and we’ve got a good team this year, so let’s see what we can do.
