Ken Read Team Quotations

The women's team yesterday was a disappointment, no question, but the world competition is at a very high level, and it shows that we still have a lot of work to do.

Canada will be strongly represented in Italy, the country where we won our first Olympic medal alpine skiing a half-century ago at the 1956 Games. Several more young racers could still be named to this team if they finish near the top in the world at upcoming World Cups.

I have sailed on a lot of high performance boats during the last few years, so I am familiar with them. I have been following the race very closely and am excited to take on this new challenge. I will have to rely on the team to get my learning curve up as quickly as possible.
