“With one kilometer to go, I still thought there was no chance to catch Ole. Then when we got to the last uphill, I must still have been 15 or 20 seconds behind and I did not think Evgeny and I had any chance. Then on the top I saw that he was not that far ahead and I just went for it. From there, it was almost like yesterday.”

“After yesterday, I was thinking today that I would not start. But after seeing the women in their race, I was inspired…I did not think I had a chance to catch Ole until that last hill today. Of course, now I am quite satisfied with my race.”

“My shooting was really good today. I did not race yesterday because I was feeling very tired. I think that was a good tactic. I tried to get some extra seconds on the last lap, but the last kilometer was really black. I had no chance of standing on my legs any more. It was really horrible.”
