"Yeah thank you. It is an amazing feeling to be the first European champion. It was a great race and especially to have my team mates on the podium. It is a big achievement for me as well as the whole Swiss team and I am really happy about it."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Nino Schurter, gold medal winner

"Yeah it was a really tactical race because it was super windy and in the beginning we were a bit far that the hard work was on us Swiss and everybody was watching what we were doing and I decided to attack early and I was able to come away and then the others were able to just sit in the group and unfortunately I had a flat tyre and the whole gap was gone and with two laps to go i attacked again and I came away again and then the Czech and the Italian guy crashed so it was all on us on us Swiss. I am pretty stoked about this victory."
