Felix Loch/ GER / World Champion 2008 and 2009)
“The Gold Medal from lake Placid is a more valuable than the one from Oberhof, because I won it not on a home track. We changed the runners immediately before the start of the race. I think this was a very good decision. I think, it’s now time to win a race in World Cup.”
Armin Zöggeler (ITA
/ Two-time Olympic Champion and five-time World Champion) “That is sport. The better one has won today. My second run was nearly perfect, bit I saw a mistake in the first run of Felix. So I wasn’t sure, that my second run was good enough. I said before, that Felix would be in future my biggest rival. He drives well and has the head for it."
Daniel Pfister (AUT / Bronze medalist at the Worlds 2009) “Friday was a black day for Austria, so I’m proud to pick up this medal. I want to say thank you to our coaches and Sponsors, who made this success possible. In the team relay we have the next chance to make a medal.”
