“We’ve had an incredible experience here in Dolny Kubin, Solvakia,” Quimby said. “They have been so kind, helpful, and supportive of having us here. The stands are full and we will be televised on Sunday for Bronze and Gold medal games.”
“As the host for the first Women’s World Championship, they (Dolny Kubin) have gone above and beyond. We are truly grateful for this beautiful country!”
