Quotes by Guenter Hujara
If you have a course that's flat like this floor and designed like a well-prepared highway, they go and they don't think about it, and all of a sudden there's a turn and they crash into the net. But if you make this with little bumps and rolls, the racer has to think about it and he's aware of his situation. We see that slows them down.
For me he is one of those racers who can win a medal in more than one event. Maybe he hasn't had many results yet this season but I'm sure he can turn it on for the Olympics. He is a great skier.
This is done. There is no chance to reschedule it because we have no more dates open. There is no better answer. We tried our best today.
This was a unanimous decision of the jury who will not accept this kind of gesture in the future.
We will have the best conditions tomorrow. I know the whole of Italy is waiting for the last race.
Most of the coaches and some of the tech guys have been on the slope. It's a very challenging course for sure. Some of the athletes will be excited and others will be surprised.
It is not meant to say it's a scandal, but we were there, 34 days ahead of the Olympics and it was not ready.
