PARK CITY, Utah — Jessica Jerome sat on the start bar in the second round of ski jumping on Sunday and basically told herself not to screw up.

More than 5,000 fans were watching the 2014 U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Ski Jumping at Utah Olympic Park and countless more on live television on NBC. Jerome, who’s notorious for her sense of humor and tell-it-like-it-is personality, was the last one to jump. She needed to nail it to stay in front of long-time teammate and friend Lindsey Van.
