After halfpipe qualification this afternoon, Hannah Teter was asked about the conditions. 

"Amazing," she said. "I love riding in the sun. I'm like a plant. I get a lot of energy from it."

Then she added, "I am a vegetarian, so I get fuel from plants, and therefore from the sun."

Except the women's halfpipe final will be held under the lights tonight. I hope the defending halfpipe gold medalist doesn't run out of gas!
