WORLD CUP BANSKO. INNERHOFER Christof (ITA), gold medal: “The last 10 days period was tough for me – a lot of media events, interviews – so I couldn’t skiing and training enough. This is my second podium at the SG so I am happy of today victory. I was good in Slalom, have some perfect races in Downhill but still missing the success at SG – so this season I finally achieved it. For tomorrow slalom – who knows – all depends how much will celebrate tonight, because I was really surprised after the final at the slope today – for the first place I got as a prize an apartment in Bansko.“

NEUREUTHER Felix (GER), silver medal: “ I enjoyed the race and the resort – here I saw so many people watching us and skiing and this is so good. It was tough World Championship in Garmish – so much pressure of my shoulders, so much expectation of the German people and now I really enjoyed the race and stay in Bulgaria. It was not so good that juries changed the start time of the SG and Slalom today but we depend of the weather conditions. Hope to see you at the press conference tomorrow again.“

MERMILLOD BLONDIN Thomas (FRA), bronze medal: “This is my first podium at the World Cup competitions, so I will love Bansko forever. I was injured at the beginning of the season and that was the reason not to be so fast in some races. I was little disappointed after the first run today but pushed the skies in the SG and it helped me to get the bronze medal. My goal for tomorrow is place among first 30. The slope in Bansko is perfect.“
