Statements of the Top 3:

Thomas Morgenstern (AUT): “I have a good feeling here in Lillehammer since we trained here two weeks ago. It was great today. Good and long jumps and lots of emotions. That’s why I became a ski jumper.”

Ville Larinto (FIN): “I’m very satisfied today, both jumps were good. My goal for Harrachov is to be in the Top 10. When I can show two good jumps there, I can also achieve a podium result in Harrachov.”

Simon Ammann (SUI): “My first jump was not so good at the take-off, but I did better in the second round and so I get closer to what I want. I still have some muscular problems but I’m satisfied with the competition. I will take part in Harrachov, it’s a nice, big hill. I like it, although I never achieved good results there.”

The next Competitions will be held in Harrachov next weekend. Sportsplanet will inform you.
