Gabriela Koukalová: "I've lost count of the times when I felt full of energy in the first lap and then completely emptied last. Today so I decided to follow a tactic wiser. Competing here is definitely easier to race at home, although this is a difficult track. For sure it's always nice to shoot with no wind. In Oberhof, there was a meeting of athletes with doping as the theme. I have not participated in it because we have chosen as our representative Michal Šlesingr, but 100% support the initiative. I think the athletes and nations that do not respect the rules should not compete with us. Yes, I think we should talk about nations in their entirety if there are too many cases of doping. Fines are not enough, I think we should take one or two places in the World Cup if there are overt and repeated cases of doping. Shipulin said that one must not jump to conclusions? I know nothing of his position. If I think he's clean? I'm sorry, but I do not think anyone on the team "
Kaisa Mäkäräinen: "I was pretty confident before the polygon standing, but I started to shoot too quickly. After the second mistake I said to myself: 'Well, here we go again, I have to run twice'. But I remained positive and coming second with two penalty is an excellent result. I spent so much and I hope to not have to pay the effort tomorrow. I'm terribly tired. The audience helped me, this is one of my favorite tracks mostly because the spectators are always very warm. "
Marie Dorin Habert: "The great achievement of France? We have a young team, full of talent and ambition. They are getting better in every race and are coming up. I had some problems in approaching this stage, my daughter attacked me an illness. However, I considered the problems I think I did well. "
Darya Domracheva: "It's nice to be back, I heard a lot of heat from the public. I hope to improve my race results in the race. But today it was really tough. I was extremely cautious is to strike on the skis, I avoided to force. I made too many mistakes, I felt a bit 'nervous and excited to return? Certainly in Oberhof has always excited, there's super atmosphere. But in general I consider the test positive today. ".
