Johan Olsson (SWE)

"I had really good skis today. Conditions were very tough as you can win or lose everything. You can lose a lot of time if you do not have the right skis. I was skiing on kick wax today. I waited as long as I could to make the good choice and I was running to the start as I was almost late. I knew I did a good race from the beginning. I was aware of Dario coming from behind. I will go home now and take it easy with my family. I will start preparing for the 50 km on Holmenkollen. The crowds were great today. They were cheering my name every time I was passing along. The World Cup in Poland met all my expectations, which I had before the race."
 
Dario Cologna (SUI)
"It was a tough but good race today. I am satisfied with my second place. Johan was too strong today. I tried to fight a lot but there was always 10 seconds margin. the course is very nice here with the tough long uphill. The second part is more flat with a lot of double poling. It was a fair race. the fans were great and were cheering on everybody. It is good to have World Cup in Poland as Cross-Country skiing very popular. I like to be competing here. I will use next free weekend to train little bit and to prepare for the final races in Scandinavia. It is good to have a free week. There are may interesting races to come."

Alexander Legkov (RUS)
"It was a very hard race today. I am happy for my good result that I could come back after Rybinsk where I was back. It is good result for the overall World Cup standing. It was difficult to choose skis today. I was testing a lot and went for wax skis. Ilia is my friend and I am happy for his good result. We will divide the prize money. I am looking forward to the World Cup final in Falun. 50 km Classic in Oslo is not for me."
