Today is awesome. It's definitely somewhat of a surprise. I haven't really had success in Super Combined in years, so to finally get a win again—the last time I won in the Olympics in 2006—it's a long time coming. I just tried to ski as smart as I could. I tried to have a solid run the whole way down and not make too many mistakes. Seeing the green light at the bottom was a really sweet feeling.

Ivica Kostelic - CRO

Ivica Kostelic

I never won a medal at the World Champs in Super Combined and it’s one of my most successful disciplines. For me it’s a confirmation of good skiing in the Combined event. My highlight was the downhill event where I skied really well. Slalom wasn’t that great but I am happy, I am very happy with this silver!

Romed Baumann - AUT

Romed Baumann

I had a really good Downhill run with almost no mistakes and knew that lots would be possible in the Slalom event. I really knew so and this is why I was sure I could make it a medal here in Schladming. It's absolutely great and the fan atmosphere has just been amazing!

Dominik Paris - AUT

 Dominik Paris

I really couldn’t have asked for a better season. I still don’t believe it. I am speechless and this is going to take some time to sink in.

To win Kitzbuehel is beyond what I could have dreamed of. I really didn’t expect it… I was not among the best in the training runs and I had no idea what to expect from the race. But I knew that I if I wanted to make a difference I would have to do that in the bottom section. I picked my line and was able to execute the plan perfectly – I think that’s how I earned this victory.

This is the best victory one could have in a winter, Bormio was my first and for sure it’s special but winning Kitzbuehel is something I wanted to do since I was about six years old so this is a dream come true.

Erik Guay - CAN

Erik Guay

I think the way I have been skiing well since Wengen and this podium was in the making. I had a good shot at the podium already in the Super G but it didn’t work out so today I gave it my best shot. I knew I needed to be fast on the top section and I did that, but I didn’t pus as much as Paris on the lower part and that’s where those 13 hundreds escaped from me.

It’s important for me to keep thing in perspective, especially after not skiing all that great in the training runs I was able to do much better in the race. What I love the most about skiing, and it’s becomes even more obvious here in Kitzbuehel is finding how far you can push yourself, which risks you are willing to take and that’s why I’m so happy to be on the podium.

Hannes Reichelt - AUT

Hannes Reichelt

I would have loved to share that first place with Paris again, but he didn’t feel like sharing and was a bit more selfish this time. There is so much pressure for us here in Kitzbuehel, expectations are high on the Austrian team but I believe we gave fans a great show and that’s important. It a great way to advertise the World Championships in Schladming and showcase the best our sport has to offer. I am really happy with how everything went today and can’t wait for the World Champs.

It’s hard work. I know it’s the boring standard answer but it’s true. The good part is that I learned that hard work doesn’t have to be boring. I had a good summer, I have been healthy and managed to have fun and enjoy my training.

There is good days and bad days, but every day on skis is a good day for me and even the running, weight lifting and biking – if you can have fun with it you can do a lot of it and that helps.

I think the most interesting part is the how to get into a mental state where you know you can be as good as I was this weekend. If I know I have prepared well, I worked hard, I skied well in the training runs and am confident in my equipment – I know the rest is up to me, and I know I want to win. When you are in this state of mind it seems impossible not to have that confidence, but believe me, I have been on the other side. You don’t have a chance to win every day, this is my 18^th victory and I know how hard I worked for each one of them.

It took me a year to get back from my crash in Beaver Creek, but I learned from that. I was feeling like Superman that year, and when I hit the fence and I definitely didn’t feel like Superman anymore. Now I manage risk a little better, I don’t want to always stay at the same side but I learned the difference between race and training. Now I chose my risks more wisely. I sold my motorcycle; you don’t want to play the odds too much.

It’s always a great start to stand on the podium the first weekend of the season. Saturday’s downhill didn’t really go as I expected so today was a little bit like a redemption for me. I was third here last year and am really happy I moved one step up this year. I was a little angry at myself so today I tried to get a good feeling this morning and it worked out.

Lake Louise is always a challenge because it seems easy but it’s not really – it’s hard to go fast here. Compared to Beaver Creek, of course it’s less steep and there are less jumps but I look forward to the Birds of Prey next week.

I know it’s going to be like every time, I am sitting in third and someone will come in and I will end up just off the podium.

 I was just so nervous! I was so nervous I couldn’t even get myself to stay still. I was so scared once again things wouldn’t go my way and my heart rate got back to its normal pace only once the last guy crossed the finish area.

I podiumed the last time two years ago and last year I kept being close – a fourth and a sixth place showed me I could be among the best but somehow that podium never came last year. Today, I attacked all the way down and am unbelievably happy it paid off – it’s so great!
