Justyna Kowalczyk (POL):
“It is a really good victory to me, it has been 10 though days. I am very happy about being on top of Alpe Cermis, and the next week will be all about resting. I was tired, my legs were in pain and all I could think of was the finish line. I heard Therese was attacking, but I was not afraid of her winning in front of me. If the time gap would have been smaller I would have went faster. I was not giving 100% in the last hill.
Otepää will be my next race, and I hope to be in great shape for the World Cup here, because it is my favorite place skiing”.
Therese Johaug (NOR):
“It was a really great race today, my shape is really good and I had great skis. I had a dream about finishing second today, and I was really happy when I saw Longa up at the hill. Overtaking the girls was a really great moment, and this is the best I have done in my career so far.
I will go back home to Dalsbygda now and stay there for a week and a half relaxing before we will go to Otepää. I think it will be good to come home and take a break from the skis. Oslo is of course my dream of the season, and I hope my shape will be even better for the Championship there”.
Marianna Longa (ITA):
“It was a very hard race today, the climbing is really really though. I am so tired right now. Therese Johaug was really strong yesterday, and she was even more dangerous for me today. I am really satisfied with winning third place today, and I am happy with my race.
The next event for me will be Rybinsk, and a National Championship in Italy”
