Les réactions :
Sara Takanashi (JPN): ”It was snowing very heavily today and the wind conditions were changing. I’m very happy that I could win here for the second time. My jumps today were good, but the snow was very soft, so I was afraid to land with a telemark. The personel preparing the hill had a very hard work today. After I heard about Noriaki Kasai’s win I felt that I have to work even harder.”
Coline Mattel (FRA): ”I’m pretty satisfied, because this is my first podium of the season. It shows that my jumping is getting better and that the work that I did at the begining of the season pays off. I have to continue training so that I can fight for the first place in the next events. Today’s conditions were pretty equal for everybody. My second jump was a bit better, but both jumps were good. I love competing, but we need to train so we are not going to Zao.”
Irina Avvakumova (RUS): ”My jumps were really good today and I’m happy with another podium place. The conditions were not difficult, I felt like I would be jumping at home. I don’t reget that I will not compete in Zao. I prefer to have a good training in Oberstdorf and prepare for the Olympics in Sochi."
