"I am very happy to have succeeded in winning my first world title, also because usually the big events are not my forte. I am very happy to have found three consecutive zeroes since I had a lot of shooting problems in this World Cup, too bad for the two mistakes at the last shooting range that forced me to suffer a little more on the last lap, maybe this gold also comes because I had no expectations after the stomach congestion that prevented me from starting in the relay , I am very sorry for the girls because we could have done really well and I dedicate this medal to them, because they deserve it too.After the two mistakes at the shooting range I was not sure to come out of the penalty turns even earlier, I knew I had a margin of thirty seconds to the fourth polygon, when they told me that I still had a ten second advantage, I knew that the Yurlova is not a lightning on the skis and that I could make it, even if I wasn't very sure because today I wasn't at my best on skis. But I'm really satisfied with myself ".
A few hours later also Dominik Windisch dug out, winning the gold in the women's race and repeating the blue Canmore 2016 double win: "Fantastic feeling, I'm happy for the Nation above all because it also won Dorothea and she deserved it because it did well throughout the season, this World Cup was not bad for Italy anyway, because three medals had already arrived and we could go home happy, but obviously ending up like this is even better and we leave with a great feeling, we can celebrating at home in Anterselva, today it was very difficult to shoot, I tried to concentrate only on myself, also because it hadn't gone well in the relay race, I managed to manage the wind well, but for me it was not so strong and I was lucky: next year I can't wait to compete at the World Championships because they will be in Anterselva and it happens once in the career of an athlete to be able to compete at home, for n We are like a mini Olympiad. The most important medal? For me it remains that of the Olympics because it is a superior competition, but happiness is the same. Wierer and I were victorious on the same day as in Canmore three years ago? I am not superstitious, but I almost even begin to believe in destiny ".
