Toni Livers (SUI):

"The race course was difficult and hard as the snow was very soft. I saw that some of the racers had some difficulties. There was a small group for a while and then me and another skier were able to make a gap. We worked well together all along and there were only 2 of us in the end. I was able to cross the finish line in front. It was really great!"

Aliaksei Ivanou (BLR):

"I was disappointed when they shortened the course, but nothing to do. It was great feeling to start infront of the others because of my last year`s victory. Last weekend, I broke a pole at the start – today it was much safer. There were a lot of good skiers today at the start and I knew that the competition would be hard.

Of course I also wanted to defend my victory. I thought that maybe, we will even have a sprint finish as the wind was coming from the back during the last part of the race. I had good skis and a good position 50 m before the finish, but then one tourist hurt my leg with his pole and then Toni passed me.

I am sorry that I could not make it to top 6 in the overall FMC. Now I will go to Kamchatka, to race on last stage of Russialoppet series."

Ekaterina Rudakova (BLR):

"I was accused of having pacemakers at the race and it made me mad and gave extra power. I wanted to prove everyone that I can win. It really gave me good motivation throughout the whole race. The couse shortening did not affect me, I had lot of power in me and coud have gone on. Next year I maybe try to win the overall FIS Marathon Cup."

Aurelie Dabudyk (FRA):

"I’m really happy that the race was able to take place. I`m also glad that the race was shortened. With the shorter distances there were a lot of people on the track at the same time and everony was encouraging us, which was really nice. I`m very happy with my race today."
