It's great to be back on the podium. I had my last victory last year in Liberec and I was the last time in red (leader of the sprint ranking) in Düsseldorf two year's again. I knew my shape was not so bad as the result was in Kuusamo and therefore I am happy that I could show it now. Tomorrow we will have a strong Norwegian team - Paal and I will race together - but for sure we will have strong contenders such as the Russians.

I want to say thanks to Düsseldorf and the audience - they are great! It was again a fantastic event and I am pleased to be here and show a strong performance. I tried to stay out of all the troubles and was mostly in front but then Ola was on the final meters a bit stronger then I.
Paal Golberg NOR
It was a great race. Even if it is a flat course it is tough but it is nice to ski here in front of this crowd with a lot of Norwegian fans. I am proud to ski tomorrow with Ola Vigen Hattestad and want to reach again the podium with him.

Kikkan Randall USA
"It was fun to race in Düsseldorf. I stayed a bit behind and attacked out of the last curve in the slight downhill towards the finish. The course is challenging, you have to work all the time. Tomorrow I will race with one of my younger team mate and we will give our best to perform as best as we can."
Natalia Matveeva RUS
I like Düsseldorf, I was often here on the podium and love the course. Here are also always a lot of Russian fans and cheering for us.
Laurien van der Graaf SUI
It was an amazing day. I even can not realize it until now. I had a great day, all went well from the prologue to the quarterfinal, semi final and final. I enjoyed racing and on the last few meters I just thought I do not want to get fourth, I want to be on the podium. Now I'm looking forward to the next races, especially the sprint next Sunday in Davos
