4:45 p.m.
Team USA entrant: Amy Acuff (Austin, Texas)
THE SCOOP: The four-time U.S. champion Amy Acuff is having the best season of her career and she has more confidence than ever before. She qualified for the final by jumping well on a wet day of qualifying on Friday – a significant achievement given that Acuff has described herself in the past as extremely tentative on a wet surface since injuring her foot while jumping on a wet apron at the 1996 Olympics. This is Acuff’s best chance ever for an international medal.
