Morgan on Canada's No. 1 sled: "Three times down. Three times a track record."

Morgan: "Germany is the most powerful sliding sports nation on the planet."

"There's no Mason-Dixon line in Germany. They have four tracks, they love their sliding sports and the results have proven it."

Morgan on Germany's Cathleen Martini after her crash in the final round: "I've never seen Martini crash. I've never seen her close to crashing."

"I had said the track has been tamed. I think I spoke too soon."

US driver Erin Pac after the race: "I'm just so happy we made it down on all four runs. Elana did an awesome job, she picked up the slack for me today and I'm just so happy."

US's Elana Meyers after the race: "We just tried to relax and have some fun. Erin's a great pilot and we just had to stay calm and do what we know how to do. And we did it."
