Martin Fourcade: "It was really exciting, a very intense competition. At the shooting range I was not very quiet, but I think no one was. Yesterday and today I felt very well on skis, the feelings are great, I think I can push hard and at the same time recovering well from the efforts. I just had a fantastic start to the season " Simon Schempp: "It's great to be back on the podium today was an even better day yesterday even though it was not as accurate at the shooting range. I'm definitely happy to have finished second, I feel my form improving from race to race, and now I can not wait to tackle the next two weeks of training to even improve it " Anton Babikov: "Today the materials were not exceptional, I realized from the very first laps. So I knew I had to shoot well and tighten teeth. I did not fully, because I missed the last target, however, the last lap I felt good. I'm glad I resisted and to be on the podium, Schempp was too strong to be beaten. I end the year on a high, although they are very fickle. Maybe I still lack a bit 'of experience.

I was very nervous before the race, so this result is incredible. I felt intense emotions, the atmosphere here is crazy, it was all the more poignant of the Olympics. I would also like to thank all the spectators and I hope I have made a nice Christmas gift to each one of them " Laura dahlmeier: "In the end it was a good day. I had lots of fun to climb. After the last shooting range, I realized that the podium was possible and I jumped in pursuit of all opponents in front of me. My skis were perfect and were the key to being able to get the second " Dorothea Wierer: "I'm pretty good game, then I fell in the second round when I was touched by a French. I lost the rhythm and I found myself in tenth position. I tried to catch up but I was forcibly compelled to pick up the pace, so I arrived at the shooting range where I made a mistake. But I was focused, I thought not to commit more errors to shoot and I did. These results are good for your head, I feel that the right condition is going to get. Now we think of the energies recover well during the Christmas break to get to the months of January and February in the best shape. " CLICK HERE TO READ THE REPORT OF THE RACE
