Dahlmeier: "Nice comparison with the mare" - Domracheva: "There will be a reason why they call me comeback girl"

Word to the three medalists female dell''inseguimento of Hochfilzen World Cup.

Laura dahlmeier: "I am very happy with this gold medal. As I said after the sprint, pursuit is my favorite format. After the error to the first polygon I realized that to win I could no longer make mistakes and the last session was very difficult, I felt it was a battle between me and the targets. Then on the last lap I was confident of not being achieved. If you feel offended by the words of Koukalová who compared me to a mare in the final laps? Absolutely not, indeed they made me happy because I think it's an excellent metaphor. Certainly better than the one used on Swedish television, where they compared me to a snake " Darya Domracheva: "Before the race I had no particular expectations, because I left very far with the number 27. There are journalists who call me 'comeback girl', there will be a reason! Today I think I lived up to his nickname. Everything was perfect, because I was fast on the skis and I shot very well. If I thought I could even win? Yes, on the last lap I tried to reach Dahlmeier, but then I realized it was too strong for me and so I decided to continue with my pace to defend myself from Gaby. How much is this medal for me? A lot, but it is not only my merit. I have to thank the team, all of my coaches who believed in me and did everything so that I could prepare myself in my own way, by virtue of my particular situation. I am very grateful, because they had confidence in me. Now back to the hotel to embrace my daughter and to celebrate the medal with her. She's a good girl, because almost always let me sleep at night. " Gabriela Koukalová: "I do not know what happened to the first polygon. Because you tend to have problems with downloading a bullet, but three times in a row no! I think there was something wrong with the magazine spring. I lost so much time and I got nervous, wrong twice, so I thought of saying goodbye to the medal final. But I trained a lot in Hochfilzen before this World Cup and the tracks I like. I also realized that she had perfect skis and then I said to pull in all, because so much had nothing to lose. I was convinced of being off the podium anyway. I realized that I would once again went to medal only 500 meters from the finish line, because I had no idea what was going on behind me. "
