Gabriela Koukalová: "Today before the race I did not feel any pressure, I felt great and I was very relaxed. I simply thought to do my best, and in the bottom of that shooting. Last lap was not easy, because I had been told that Laura was 10 "behind me and I never thought of resisting, I know his last rounds, where she is able to go as fast as a horse. I thought to get to the finish line second and when I saw that you have 4 "lead I thought for a moment that I was dreaming. Six months ago I never thought I could win the gold medal, but doing so has become a fixed idea. My dream came true! I'm very happy. This is one of the best moments of my life ". Laura dahlmeier: "Being the leader of the race and wait for the arrival of Koukalová was not easy. After its zero I realized that she had been beaten and could not do anything to change my situation. I hoped that I would end Gabriela behind in the last lap, but in the end turned out to be a bit 'stronger than me. I still think that he drove a perfect race, I felt very well both on track and at the shooting range, so I'm satisfied silver. I am convinced we can win the chase, since it is my favorite format. What do I think of the suspension of Glazyrina? I think we should try to make biathlon clean and from this point of view it would be nice that Russians recognize their mistakes. I appreciated the criticism of Fourcade against Loginov. I would never do that, because I prefer to focus only on the sport. But I think Martin is doing a great thing. He is waging a battle for a clean sport " Anais Chevalier: "I am very happy and I have nothing to reproach myself. I shot even without committing an error and I skied very quickly. My goal was not on the podium, but simply to earn a good starting position in the chase view. I feel very different emotions than yesterday, this bronze medal makes me happier silver obtained yesterday in the medley relay, where I did not feel as good as today " The statements of the Italian are available in audio format by clicking on these words
