QUOTES
Sarah Hendrickson
I’m really happy about my jumping today (Sunday) because I know that if I jump my best jumps, then I can easily be back on the podium. Saturday we didn’t have the energy and it showed in the results. As a team, we’re not really at our level right now. We’re in good spirits, but the traveling and characteristic foggy and drizzly weather in Schonach just got to us this time and we weren’t 100 percent.

Saturday I was not ready for this kind of competition from us because our official training went pretty well. We did take a step back in results. In general, the entire team is feeling a little tired and our energy level is a bit low. We just have to get healthy, start sleeping better, and get back into the right rhythm.”
(On Sarah Hendrickson) I could see more of an energy problem Saturday and so we tried to work more on technique. Sarah had better day Sunday and she was more normal in her jumping. She was a little late in the first round and her second round was really good. It’s very promising for next week in Hinterzarten.
