Heidi Weng (NOR)
"I didn’t believe I could ski fast in sprints but now everybody could see I am fast. My final was very good. I am not so good at downhills but today was amazing. It was a perfect day."
Maiken Caspersen Falla (NOR)
"I feel much better about the second place today than I did last week in Ruka. I think I had a good race. I had some troubles in my quarter and semifinal. My plan for the final was to be in the front."
Hanna Falk (SWE)
"I am very happy today. It has been six years since I was last time on the podium. I had to wait long to come back. I felt stronger and stronger during the day. In the final I tried to follow Maiken and Heidi."
Calle Halfvarsson (SWE)
"I felt strong in the prologue and in all the heats. I decided to go out of the track on the last climb because I had a better grip there. I think I am headed in the right direction. We will see tomorrow how things are."

Emil Iversen (NOR)
I always hope for a win but 2nd place is a good way to start the mini tour in Lillehammer. Being the best Norwegian of the day means I did a good job. The final was really fast. I tried my best on the final uphill but Calle gained some meters and it was enough for him to win.
Teodor Peterson (SWE)
I was 4th last week so 3rd place is great. I had a good prologue. I saw Calle was very strong, especially on the final uphill. I tried to attack in the last meters but it was not enough.
