Malvern Prep grad settling in

Eric Bernotas, from Avondale, Pa., is still trying to get himself settled in at the Whistler Sliding Centre in advance of Thursday's first two skeleton runs. The remaining two are Friday night.

"I'm tired, this training schedule is challenging," he said today after a second consecutive day of training runs. "I'm fatigued and my mind isn't with me today, but I'll be ready for the race. I'll be excited tomorrow."

Bernotas, a Malvern Prep graduate who finished sixth at Turin, also expressed some concern about the track.

"I don't gel naturally with this track," he said. "I need to just slide, and not overthink it. The race is four runs, so I know I need to be consistent. I just need to start at the top and work my way down to the bottom, and we'll see who can be consistent after four heats."
