Felt quite relaxed because I felt like I'd probably already wiped the weekend, that the ski wasn't going to run very well, but it did. So I felt really relaxed out there and I felt like I skied the best I could have done. So I'm really happy, happy with the result.

Yeah, it's really good to see the level of riding is really high this year, so it's been a battle on the water and it's been a pleasure to be here. I was lucky to take first place yesterday and today, but as I mentioned before the level was really high, so it was nice to be part of this game. We are really happy to see this competition here today. After the COVID years, we are really happy to have enough riders back in the competition and this time we had competitors all over Europe and we had a really top level competition again.
