Palander moved up
“That's a nice move that I did this year comparing to last season when
I finished 20th because of terrible stomach problem that I had. I went
twice at the hospital, I guess because of a bad hamburger!”
“It's always a tough race here, but I got much momentum with my good GS
race yesterday. I knew I was in good shape, but I was also very nervous”.
“I think that the jury made the right decision in Schoenfelder's case,
even if I prefer not to talk abut this. I was leading anyway, so I didn't
want to care about what was going around. I tried to stay concentrated
on my second run. And when I finished it, I knew that I was winning anyway”.
“It's difficult to start a season when you have the leader's bib. It was
a strange feeling today! The race was really a demanding one, the conditions
were incredibly tough. I can even say that I felt lost this morning during
the inspection. I didn't ski well at all during the warm-up. I already
knew that it would be a hard competition. I had too much speed during that
first run considering the snow conditions. I skied at my limits”.
“I have always been training slalom and GS, since 10 years with Sami.
He's the best Gs technician on the tour for me! It would be really bad
if I would be able to be competitive in both events with his help. GS is
for me the most difficult event, and that's the reason why I want badly
to succeed in this discipline, so that you get the respect for the others.
That's a nice goal…”
