SOUNDBITE: (English) Christy Prior:

"The pressure was definitely a little bit more on. I like to land the first runs, it makes life a lot easier. But yeah, this spot up here was definitely new territory for me, so yeah I like it, I could get used to that. I don't know if it will happen but I like it."
