Stefan Kraft
"Perfect day. Two flights over 240 meters, fantastic crowd, fantastic atmosphere! I really enjoyed in today's competition, but it's not over till it's not over. I want to enjoy in next two days and show some long flights."

Andreas Wellinger
"Two perfect flights today. Hard to say, but there is not more to add. Mybee just to enjoy even more that I enjoyed today. That's my goal for the next two days. Flying hill is different then the one in Vikersund, here you fly really high and you know in a moment that it will be a long flight."

Markus Eisenbichler
"Very happy about my first poudium on flying hill. That is something special, those are some special emotions. I'm a bit surprised today, but in a good way. I hope that we can manage to show some good flights tomorrow, but it will be hard fight with Austria, Norway and Slovenia for the podium."
