Jan Eichhorn (GER, Bronze Medal at World Championships 2007)
„I can’t believe that I have won that race. I had a bad mistake in first run, that was evident, even if I don’t know what happened. And in second run the weather helped me, I must admit that.”
Felix Loch (GER, World Champion 2008)
„A crazy race. With normal conditions I am sure I had won. But I am also glad for Jan, this victory will do him good. And rank two is also very good.”
David Möller (GER, World Champion 2001 and 2007)
„I am satisfied with my run but not with the result. The conditions were extremely unfair and I had expected an intervention from the Jury. But it is always a lottery, so it’s ok.“
