Statements of the Top 3 from Willingen:

Michael Uhrmann (GER): "We were better than Norway, that’s very good for us. It was great to hear the national anthem, it’s been a while since the last time. Today’s victory is worth nothing at the Olympics, but our shape is good. We go there to have a good time.”

Anders Jacobsen (NOR): "I’m very confident when it comes to Vancouver, my goal is to win a Gold medal there. It was not planned to get in a good shape just on time for Vancouver, but that we are doing so well at the moment is, of course, great.”

David Zauner (AUT): "We can be proud of today’s result. Austria has a great B-team.”

The next Station for the Jumpers will be the Olympic Games.
