Benedikt Doll: "All this is incredible. Last year I got good results, including silver in the relay, but winning the gold medal is something special. When I saw Fourcade mistakes twice I realized I had a chance and me have played well. I realized that with the zero I could have become world champion. In fact I am very satisfied of my shot, especially standing. However, even when I crossed the line, I knew that the Norwegians had decided to leave for last. So even though I was in the lead I was conscious of the fact that it was not yet made that I should wait for them. I watched the final round of Johannes on the big screen and I was convinced that he would win. "
Johannes Bø: "I had a good race, but it is clear that the result leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Losing a gold for seven tenths is really frustrating, but silver I do not mind. I know I have a long career ahead of me and there will be always someone in front of me of 7/10. Sooner or later I will come back to cross the finish line first. What happened on the last lap? I tried to force it, but I had no strength. At one point I was almost hard to stand, I could not give anything more, I felt dead. Tomorrow I will propose to the pursuit Doll to cooperate as much as possible to try to prevent Fourcade to come to us. "
Martin Fourcade: "Altogether I have not played a bad game, but I made two mistakes and so you certainly can not win, even doing a great time skiing. When I crossed the line I was convinced that I would not go beyond a placing in the top ten. Then, with the evolution of the situation, I thought that I would be right at the foot of the podium. So even if you are not satisfied with my performance at the shooting, I feel relieved in having won a medal anyway. If the controversy with the Russians have deconcentrato? you must be joking me, you certainly can not make excuses every time you lose. I'm just not been good enough to win, and the blame is mine alone. Regarding the medley relay, there was a big confusion, as if my position on doping was mixed with what happened on the track. When you have avoided the handshake I changed and I left the podium, I was very emotional. my position on doping is not against Russia or restricted to biathlon but it is much more widespread. I Shipulin and we have clarified, both on the failure handshake regarding the fall of Loginov. I know Anton for 10 years and we are on good terms, it will not be what happened on the podium the day before yesterday to ruin them. I continue to have a good opinion of him and I know that the estimate is reciprocated. "
