I took this race as a present and I went down the track in a relaxed, carefree. I think it was important. On the last lap I realized to be in good shape and then I tried. I really enjoyed the fact that they get on the podium, but I have not realized yet what happened. It is simply amazing to be in the midst of two athletes as Laura and Gabi ". Laura dahlmeier: "Today I wanted to prove to be the strongest, but it did not go as I wanted. I know how the first win is a very special feeling and so I am very happy for Nadine.

Among others at the hotel we are in the same room, a room here in Anterselva there are two gold medals ". Gabriela KoukalovÃ¡: "I am very happy to be on the podium, it was not an easy stage. For individuals I felt much better than yesterday, I started to struggle since the first lap and in the end I really had no forces.
