ATHLETES QUOTES (1 - 2 - 3)
Sara Takanashi (JPN): "This is a special day for me because it's my father's birthday. I really wanted to win for him. Actually I don't get along with the hill in Hinterzarten that well, but it is getting better and better. Especially my second jump today was really good."
Sarah Hendrickson (USA): "I simply love this hill in Hinterzarten and I like the Black Forest in general. Today a lot of jumps were longer than 100 m but that is what the spectators would like to see."
Jacqueline Seifriedsberger (AUT): “I am absolutely satisfied with today's competition and my own performance, especially because I managed to show two great jumps of more than 100 m."
