Ramona Siebenhofer: "I did not think it was a test! (laughs, ed) I had a high number, 17, I'm very happy even though I was very nervous! I was hoping to be on the podium, being on the top step is fantastic! Me and Stephanie in the room together? We slept! We prefer not to have too much information about the route and see it directly and then compare it with our coaches. The organizing committee did a great job at the finish area ".

Francesca Marsaglia: "Now there are two races that are close to the podium, I try not to think about it and to do the best in the day and draw the conclusions I hope to do another small step in the coming days, I felt good even in training, maybe I was happy to come to Cortina and with the lowered start I told myself to give it all because I knew we would all be attacked.I'm happy, I give the skis a fluidity that I did not have long and maybe I never had. I feel it too and the times give me reason, I go even faster in the plans, I changed materials and I had a special feeling with the long curves.The 'ski boots-ski is helping me.What I expect in the coming days? another passettino "
Nadia Fanchini: "I'm not satisfied with this race, I took a lot in the first intermediate, if I was playing like my team-mates, I would have been on the podium or behind me I expected more, it did not go. moment does not pay me back, I look forward to the result ".
Federica Brignone: "I tried to be fluid, I put a lot of strength in it, I saw good curves, I was closed and I tried to pull as much as possible I hope to improve day by day, my test is good from the point of view technical, I made a mistake in the middle before Rumerlo, I went long and did not allow me to take speed in the last part, I took about 7 tenths.I like to do downhill, I think I have chances and always improve In a place like this it is great to compete and then allows me to try the track for the super-G "
Nicol Delago: "I am a little disappointed because when you reach the finish line and you see that you were in front and then you left, a bit of disappointment remains, but I try to take the positive, what happened happened and I did not I think it would have been difficult to stay on track, at that moment I did not see a chance, I broke down, I was not in line anymore I lost control I'm very sorry, even though I enjoyed it a lot. sister in the European Cup has charged me, I tried to go to all, the 'mistake there is, today I risked a little' because it was short, I wanted to do well, I kept the lines pretty tense, I arrived a bit ' 'long, I felt the pressure after the curve, I also gleaned and could not stay in. However, I like the track, I wanted to do well, I'll try again.
