Les réactions (source FIS)
Nejc Dezman (SLO): "I was in a good shape when I came to Erzurum. I just wanted to stay cool and my goal was to show as good jumps in the competition as I did in the training rounds. It’s always a big pressure when you are competing in World Championships, but I was able to handle that.”
Aleksander Zniszczol (POL): “Of course I am happy about winning the silver medal. I was feeling good today and I am really satisfied with my performance. It was also some extra motivation that Adam Malysz came here together with our team.”
Jaka Hvala (SLO): “I didn’t expect to win a medal today because I did not do very well in the training rounds. I like the fact that the hill was prepared by Slovenians because we all know each other and in this way I am having some more friends with me during those days in Erzurum.”
