    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Melissa Hollingsworth, Canada:
    "They key points: you have to have a good start. If you are fast at the top you are going to be fast at the bottom - but there is no room for error. It is not…from what we have experienced so far there is not huge crashes or big hits but if you have a little tiny mistake, because of the uphill sections it is going to make it really difficult to try and find anymore speed on the track so it is going to be that fast start, it is going to be that consistency. It is going to be clean runs, effortless type movements. You don't want to have big movements pin your sled, aerodynamics is going to be key."
