Mancuso hoping to salvage season at worlds
Posted by Stephan on January.23rd, 2009
CORTINA D’AMPEZZO, Italy — Just two seasons after she challenged for the overall World Cup title, Julia Mancuso struggles just to post top 10 finishes.
Bothered by a bad back and new equipment, the Californian could salvage a disappointing season with a big performance at the upcoming World Championships in Val d’Isere, France, Feb. 3-15.
“On a year where our team was stronger, I would have struggled to qualify. But none of the girls are really doing awesome besides Lindsey (Vonn), so luckily I can still do all my events,” Mancuso said Thursday after World Cup downhill training was canceled for the third straight day.
