Luca De Aliprandini: "If they had told me yesterday that I would have finished seventh, I would have signed. Of course, after the fifth place in the first race, a little something goes through your mind. But it was a very difficult season, because at the beginning I had problems with the set-up, then I got sick and I didn't feel good physically, so I had to chase all year and I struggled a little, but going on vacation with seventh place gives me more tranquility. Here I had competed and also won in the European Cup, it is a very nice track, very similar to Adelboden: the start is practically the same, it is a track where you have to push, and with the final wall, if you arrive a little tired, you feel it. That was the biggest challenge for me, because from half down the snow changed, it became softer and the conditions in which I struggle a little, I had to force myself to stay on my skis and not fall down The programs? Now my idea is to ski as much as possible, to arrive on pis of normal snow until May and avoid skiing on glaciers ".
Manfred Moelgg: "I didn't lean well on the inside ski and I went out. I tried to push from top to bottom, but this year something is missing in the giant. From the World Cup onwards it was tough, I came out of the fifteen and I know it's missing "Something to be up front, I also did little training in this discipline. On Sunday there is the slalom, coming from a good result in Kranjska Gora, I am confident and ready to make a great race. I'm sorry for today. De Aliprandini I saw good "
Christof Innerhofer: "I made a surprise, I like racing too much. It is always a good training even if I missed the giant rhythm. I enjoyed it and it certainly did me good. The giant is a beautiful discipline: the last I had done it in 2014, a long time ago, but I like it. This is a challenging slope, you have to compliment the organization, there have been fantastic races and a great audience. shivering for Chiara Costazza, I'm sorry my friends are retiring. She has had a good career, we are the same age, but I never thought of stopping, I hope to go on for so many years ".
