Les réactions :
Therese Johaug (NOR) "I tried to push hard from the beginning. I gave all I had at the end of the competition but Marit and Charlotte were little bit better than me. I’m happy with the third place. I think I lost the victory in the last corner. However, from Kuusamo I am taking home that my shape is good and I am looking forward to next competitions in Lillehammer and Davos. "
Charlotte Kalla (SWE) "I had a good feeling today. I felt strong and my skating technique was good. I tried to keep focused and stay with the others as long as possible. Until the last uphill I skied very well. At the end it was tough, I had stiff legs and I was very tired. "
Marit Bjørgen (NOR) "I’m very happy to be leaving Kuusamo in the yellow bib. I was not so happy after Fridays sprint. But already yesterday I felt it was a good competition. Today I had to ski my own competition. I knew they (Johaug and Kalla) were coming fast from behind. I knew they will have to spend some energy before they catch me. Therese attacked in the last lap. I followed her and I knew that if I am first before the last uphill I can win. "
