Hermann Maier: Exclusive Interview

Questions by Manuèle Lang:
Congratulations Hermann, another victory and the third victory on the glacier for you in GS. How are you feeling?

Hermann:
It's a great feeling for sure. It was a great race for me today and especially the home people here, it was really great.

Manuèle:
How did you like the conditions?

Hermann:
Great conditions, a lot of snow, second run was a little bit difficult. The visibility was not so good; it was quite dark there, but I did well enough.

Manuèle:
Is it the kind of conditions that you like to run?

Hermann:
Yeah I like it; I like it more as a rough slope but I had also some problems in one gate. I hit one gate, and it was not so good in the flat section, but the steep section was okay.

Manuèle:
And what was the difference was there between the first and the second run?

Hermann:
First run was more out of the fall line second run was much faster, and it's difficult with this visibility, very fast, and it's not easy.

Manuèle:
You looked to be really emotional today, your run and everything, was this victory something special?

Hermann:
It was special for me so a lot of for my fan club there, more than 110 [thousand] people, and it's very important for me to win this race — especially in Austria.
