QUOTES
Sarah Hendrickson
I had a very good training earlier this week in Hinterzarten and so I came in here today with confidence. I've liked this hill in the past and just used positive thoughts today and got it done.
It feels really good to be back on the podium. I'm going to enjoy this today and then get focused for tomorrow's comp.
Paolo Bernardi, World Cup Coach, Women's Ski Jumping USA
After a disappointing last weekend in Schonach, the team is almost back on the right track. With five in the top 22, it's promising. We are back on top of the overall for the Nation's Cup and we have much more left of this in our tank.
Sarah is getting more used to her new, shorter skis and that helps. This week she has started to jump on her level and her victory today in a super tight competition is awesome. She is learning again to handle the pressure of the comp in the right way by doing her best jump at the right time.
