"I look at (the way she competes) and I kind of take that in and I think 'You know what I have to compete that way', so she also teaches me a little bit of the tricks and I think it is going to be great because we both want (to win) and I think we are both going to strive for that. So I think it is going to be a fierce and amazing competition."
