CLICK HERE TO READ THE REPORT OF THE RACE Ekaterina Yurlova: & ldquo; In fact this morning I did not think I'd climb on the podium again, I just called to do my job well, what & egrave; to ski well and shoot well. Today the weather was very changing, especially sometimes c & rsquo; it was a very strong wind both on track and at the shooting range. In skiing I asked the wind to blow only on the track and not at the shooting range because & eacute; & Egrave; ugrave & much more; easy for me to shoot without wind! L & rsquo; altitude I was always scared because & eacute; my muscles do not respond very well at high altitude, but this time & egrave; It was very surprising and refreshing to see how my body reacted & rdquo ;. Selina Gasparin: & ldquo; & Egrave; a great surprise to be on the podium today. My goal was to get into the top ten, & egrave; true that quest & rsquo; year we saw that the chase & egrave; You can do good races, even starting with chest very high, but I never expected to get second. At the beginning of the season I was hard because & eacute; I shot badly, c & rsquo; & egrave; It took a while & rsquo; of time to return to the top. Goals for the rest of & rsquo; winter? I just want to have fun and compete pi & ugrave; possible. The podium today & egrave; much more & ugrave; than I expected from the season of my return & rdquo ;. Dorothea Wierer: & ldquo; I started very well with zero-zero, then two errors in the third polygon were too many because & eacute; I lost so much time. All & rsquo; Podchufarova last shot I saw that he had missed three, so I wanted at all costs to shoot fast and make another zero, but not & egrave; went cos & Igrave; and I made a mistake once. I was second & Outdoors; output from the polygon, but then & egrave; Selina arrived and & egrave; It was kind & lsquo; WHOOOSH! & rdquo ;, & agrave had no chance; against her today, I was too tired. Tomorrow we have a good chance in the relay & agrave ;, but it does not depend only on me, all we have to do a good job and we must hope that other nations do not shoot well as us! & Rdquo;
