Valenti [came] through with a big pin and [took] charge of the team.

They have a lot of big bullets, we have more smaller mid-sized shots at scoring points. It's going to take a collective effort to have the kind of success we are hoping to have at this tournament.

The viciousness of the storm took aback even the most seasoned members of our team. It was one of the worst conditions for search and rescue personnel that we've seen in a long time.

In a close bout you always need to take advantage of the opportunities and really a lot of times get charge of the moment that can go either way.

A lot of the teams will be pretty equally matched up there. There is no giant separation from the first to the last team.

That was a big loss for a lot of people here personally and professionally. For us as a team, it's very difficult to replace someone who saw where the sport could go and where it needed to go.
