It was a perfect day for me. I had a good qualification and I got self-confidence for the heats. It was a great day for me. I'have been in good shape and recovered well from Tour de Ski. I hope I will ski fast and make a good result tomorrow. There are still many races to go before the end of the World Cup. It will be nice to win the Overall world Cup again.

I am really satisfied with my second place today. I did not have a chance against Dario. Second place is the maximum what I could achieve today.  My shape has been good. The course is hard but in the finals everyone was double poling. I hope next time the sprint will be again in classical technique. Next Friday we are having national championships and then I will go to Moscow.

My goal was to finish top three today. The course fits me well. I like the long finishing straight most. I will also go to the nationals in Norway. The championships are big event. We meet there guys who don't compete at World Cup and they are very motivated to beat us.
