Especially the shot was really tricky. It was very important not to hurry the last polygon and wait for the right moment to shoot. I would say that it worked. Each race has its own story, and even though many are always the favorite, I always need to be very precise to get on the podium. " Anais Chevalier: "On skis I felt very well and were really fast.

After so many years of sacrifice have been awarded, it is a recognition that I want to share with my teammates and the coaching staff that always puts us in a position to compete better. The polygon has always been my forte, now needed more than ever to shoot well to be competitive, now I will face the next two races with a very different spirit, because in those days the feelings were certainly not very good, because I had struggled to find the right rhythm to shoot. " Dorothea Wierer: "I did what I could in a day where I did not feel physically at best, I had some problems in my stomach. Racing at home always puts a bit of pressure on him, but we must look ahead to the next few races and take what good that this race gave me, maybe starting from the performance on the slopes. " Federica Sanfilippo: "C''era an unstable wind which made it really hard to pull, shame because I wanted to do well in these races. It remains the relay, I will have even greater anger."
