QUOTES
Nita Englund
I sometimes get excited when I see the conditions get worse because it is something that does not bother me. I honestly did not know it was a one rounder until I got to the bottom. I was ready to do it again! I think the best thing was that I stayed calm and focused on keeping my jump like training. I am cherishing the moment and I don't think it really sank in yet.
