ATHLETE QUOTES

Marit Bjørgen, NOR
I had perfect skis today. I felt powerful from the beginning. After 5 km I was in the lead of 5 sec and I thought the race is going my way. It is incredible I could win both competitions here in Lahti. My goal is to take all three crystal globes this season.

Heidi Weng, NOR
It is amazing for me to be back on the podium. The World Championships did not go as I hoped and it is great to be back. I was so happy in the finish. Lahti is a great place for me. In all competitions I started little bit slowly and sped up during the race.

Charlotte Kalla, SWE
I tried to open hard and keep pushing all the way. Most of the best athletes were behind me so it was not easy to get the information. I had great days at home after Falun. I am very motivated to end the season in a good way.
