Alexis Pinturault: “Today was very emotional. I have been under a lot of pressure for the last one week. Today I had a clear position: I had to think fast and low. But this is not so easy. I focused on myself. She was probably one of my greatest achievements today. I definitely had a bit of luck with the downhill and super-G cancellation in the late stages of the season. It was not good for our game, but was good for me. Last year, I felt bad about Kovid. Maybe it comes back a bit this season. “

Marco Odermatt: “Conditions were completely different in Kranjska Gora. A very winding course in the final and I did not get too far behind the ice. I don’t think so yet. Of course I am very disappointed today. Alexis absolutely deserves it. He is in my position for some time. If it worked for me for the first time, it would have been very strange.
