And at least I want to show my coaches the same. This victory is a small bandage for the hurt, which I have received when I did not quaify for Germany`s Olympic team.Becky Wilczack (USA): Second Place- that`s a good feeling. I try to just concentrate and say that this was just sliding. You`ve been training well all week, just relax and have fun with it.Angelika Neuner (Austria) Olympic Silver medallist 1992: This was the first good run in this week. During training and the first heat I have had always problems. It is pretty nice to see the other Austrians so close behind me. If one of us is going to make a mistake, the others will be still in the top.
