bigquotesI didn't expect this win, I was struggling to go fast on this track. But I wanted to do my best, and I expected it to be a close race. I had an almost perfect run, so I knew that I had done the best that I could. It was really close, and I had resigned myself to being second, even as Rachel was crossing the line, so it's pretty bonkers to win. - Manon Carpenter, Madison Saracen

 So stoked on her run! Her line just after the g-spot didn't look any slower than the creek jump to the left

 That run was blazing fast and she seemed to flow through them seamlessly without any issues. What a run, and soooo fast. Really happy that she took both the Overall and world Champs. Much Respect.

 I couldn't handle that speed. That was a solid run...cut loose whenever possible, but didn't ride beyond herself in key spots.

 So lovely, passionate and crazily talented; and only 21. She's inspiring. I take solace in the fact that we will see more of her in the years ahead.

 It's awesome Tahnee was so pumped for Manon...considering she just bumped her from the hot-seat. Lol'ed when you see her sprinting over from the hot-seat to congratulate her.
