"I think it's a really important event because it's a challenge,” she told reporters on Friday a day before the mixed final concludes the opening day’s action on Saturday.
“It's a way to work with other team mates that typically you don't get a chance to work with.
"The nature of the event is really exciting because you have new goals - we're eyeing a world record - and that's a great new challenge.
“But, given that you only have two athletes of each gender, it provides a really, really exciting competition for everyone to watch.
So we're definitely prepared for that, we're ready to fight for that win and I think that's really exciting."
