Dorothea Wierer: "I had a frozen finger"; Martin Fourcade: "Nell''ultimo lap I wanted to share my joy"

Let's see what were the statements of the protagonists of the pursuits of Nove Mesto na Morave, where Martin Fourcade won the 100th podium of his career and Dorothea Wierer has become the 'Italian with more top-three in the history of the World Cup.

Martin Fourcade: "Every so often someone asks me if I'm not happy when I win, because sometimes I sing in a very composed. But today I wanted to share my joy with the audience. I'm really happy, because I and Anton Shipulin we created a great duel. His shot on the ground was good, but today I felt very good on the skis. If I have already won the World Cup? It would not be respectful to opponents say such a thing " Anton Shipulin: "Second place is a good result, especially because I was not feeling well on the skis. Maybe I am a bit 'tired and I pay the fact that he lost some training in November, while I was sick. Martin still has not even given us the opportunity to think of winning. I hope that after the New Year we face some presents and give us at least a chance " Quentin Fillon Maillet: "I am very satisfied with my performance. I drove a perfect race, shooting well. My season did not start very well, so it was very important to get a result like that to get back on the podium.

Certainly I did not expect to win when I came here in Nove Mesto. It is simply amazing to have won in front of so many fans. In the last 100 meters I was afraid that I would surpass Wierer, but I really enjoyed every moment until the arrival " Dorothea Wierer: "I was confident at the start because I had only 23 seconds late and not minutes, as in the pursuits of the season. The shot was not as hard today, but I had a frozen finger and for me it was not easy to shoot " Tatiana Akimova: "I am very satisfied with today's result and to be honest I did not expect. I have placed particular goals, only I said to shoot the best you can. At the beginning of the last lap I decided to stake all out trying to detach Dunklee, because I knew that I would have lost in the sprint. I risked everything I could risk it and it went very well " CLICK HERE FOR THE REPORT OF THE RACE
