I'm really satisfied with the prologue. I like such snow conditions we had today. It was much better for me than yesterday. Tomorrow the plan is to go fast right from the start and try to catch Kikkan.

Charlotte Kalla (SWE)

I was very curious about how my shape would be competing against the others again. I like Oberhof. I have good experience here from that past. The 3km skate suits me well in skate when I am in good shape. My plan is to do as good a classic race as possible. It will be a hard stage for me tomorrow. But I will do my best.

Kikkan Randall (USA)

Its very exciting to feel strong today. the start of the season quite good for me. I had a break at Christmas and I am still feeling good. I just hoped that the Christmas cookies didn't weigh me down too much. I didn't have a good feeling coming into today, but I have learned over my career that when I feel bad before the race I usually have a good race and that was the case today.
