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

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

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

I cannot believe that I have won a giant slalom.

I think I was just putting myself under too much pressure at the start of the season. But now I feel in great form and happier than I've ever been in my life.
