Charlotte Kalla (SWE) : "I worked a lot in the summer on skiing fast on the flats. I knew it was important here in Toblach. I love racing here. It was nice to see it worked. I had amazing skis, the team did amazing job, I had great fun skiing today, when I felt my body was responding so well. "
Ragnhild Haga (NOR) : "The race was very fast. It was really a hard course. It was important to pace myself. I wanted to go fast in the last lap. Second place gives me a good position in tomorrow’s pursuit."
Heidi Weng (NOR) : "I’m satisfied with my performance today. I've always had a hard time on this track, but the last few kilometers were really tough today. I had the impression that I could hardly move. However, the result of the race showed me that despite all the problems I can keep up with the best. I can build on that."

Simen Hegstad Krusger (NOR) : "It’s great to finally win a World Cup race. I have been twice 4th this season. I thought my shape was good and I was hoping for a good performance and hopefully a podium. But to be 1st today, it’s abslutely amazing."
Maurice Manificat (FRA) : "I congratulate Simen on the win, it was just great what he delivered today. I am very happy with the second place. It is a confirmation of my good shape, which I have had since the beginning of the season."
Andrew Musgrave (GBR) : "This is my first proper World Cup podium. All the previous ones were for the fastest times in pursuit competitions. One of them was also in Toblach so I knew I could ski here fast. Today, everything fell in the right place. I am in a good shape and I was skiing well."
