Yahoo News had more quotes from the 2007 and 2009 World Cup champion Svindal: “I trained really well in the summer and I'm in the form of my life ... It was a very demanding course, full of turns and it suits me. I skied over the limit at times and it could have cost me dearly," he said.

Ski Racing had more of the winner’s quotes: "On the top part, I charged hard and I didn't make mistakes, so I was 30 seconds ahead, so that's where I laid the base for winning the race, I guess," said Svindal. "You had to ski aggressively and that's exactly what I did." adding that the Saslong is a dark race in the best of conditions and today (12/14) the conditions included an incoming snow storm and fog that made the many bumps all but invisible for the 66 men that contested her flanks.

It's just reflexes, really you don't have time to think about it. Definitely not what I planned to do. I had a high heart rate before that but that definitely raised it. I was pretty close to losing my balance."
