Les réactions
Severin Freund (GER): “
On a day like this you have to speculate a bit about when you go to the start. Because if you are up there too early it can get really long. It was not an easy competition, the qualification was canceled and already the training round took really long.
I had totally different competitions in training than in the competition. Of course it can get a bit annoying, but we can't change the weather. I'm really happy that we had a competition today."
Kenneth Gangnes (NOR): "For me this second place feels like a win today. I've never achieved such a result before so it's really nice to be second. We were training really well in summer and we have a good team spirit. That's why we have so many guys who can jump on a high level."
Andreas Stjernen (NOR): "A competition like today is as exciting as it can be for me. I stood on the podium and it was only my second time, so I don't care about the weather today. I had good conditions and I also made a really good jump. It seems I'm in a good shape and tomorrow I want to jump on the same level again. Then we'll see how it goes."
