Johannes Bø: "That's cool! It was an absolutely perfect race. The World Cup will be in three weeks and this race fills me with confidence for the World Championship event. Recently I have achieved great performance, but this victory proves that I have not forgotten how excels. My plan today was to shoot the best you can and I did. After the last shot, there was a great battle with the French in which helped me to think that my brother Tarjei was home to look at me. It was like having it at my side and gave me great strength. As the World Championships in Oslo, where there has been fighting between Norway and France in the mass start, and where in the end I won. The French have won enough this season, so the World Championships in Hochfilzen up to us Norwegians! The World Cup my goal will be to win 6 medals. We have managed Tora Berger and Marie Dorin Habert among women, but among men do not have it yet made anyone. I want to be the first to reach this goal! "
Quentin Fillon Maillet: "In recent weeks I have often had problems at the shooting range, but it was just a psychological issue. I continued to have negative thoughts when I was shooting. Today, however, everything went well and I hope that the World Cup will repeat myself. Today I ski better than Johannes Bø, but despite this he was faster than me on arrival "
Anton Shipulin: "It was very tough today. I do not know why, maybe because of the rise guilt, last night I slept little and badly. In this state, finishing third is a great achievement. The polygon has been difficult to shoot well, one mistake makes me happy. At the beginning of the last lap I thought I'd go and get the two in front, but I realized that I had and then I spared save the podium. "
Martin Fourcade: "Johannes Bø said he wants to go to medal in all the races of the World Cup? Since the beginning of the season were played 15 games and he was on the podium only 3 times. I think that before we talk about medal in every race It must also show at the World Cup something different from what we did see so far in the World Cup. "
