text: KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia (AP) — Julia Mancuso showed yet again she's a big-game player, racing into the lead of the downhill portion of the Olympic super-combined on Monday and setting herself up for yet another medal.
  "I just love being here at the Olympics. It's so much fun. I get really energized," said Mancuso, the most decorated American woman in Olympic Alpine skiing. "First race of the Olympics, so I was excited, and I really just focused on being aerodynamic and going for it."
  "My grandpa is smiling down at me from heaven and saying I can be proud no matter what happens! This one's for you Grandpa Denny:) #discotime," she wrote.
  Despite under-achieving during the grueling World Cup season, Mancuso showed flashes of true form in January with two seventh-place finishes in downhill and super-G at one of her favorite venues, Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy.
