I expected a bronze medal, maybe. When I saw I was second I was very surprised, very happy.

I still have a medal and I am very happy for my bronze and happy for the Swedish nation that I could bring back a medal. But I really, really do hope the snow is harder (Sunday) than it is right now and the weather will not destroy the race.

We came for a medal and we didn't care what color it was. We're very happy with a bronze.

I would be happy with an Olympic bronze. What I don't have is an Olympic medal.

It was a very long day. It will be very tough to keep that position [tomorrow].

I was a little uncertain before the race, but now the confidence is back.
