My coach told me to slow down and enjoy the rest of race. He told me nobody could catch me anymore.

That was the worst 15 kilometers ever in my life.

After the last shooting, I knew nothing bad could happen. My coaches told me to just slow down and enjoy the moment.

I think the pressure was very high after the last races, not only from other persons, also from myself, because I came here to win a medal. It was so nice to win here today with such a big cushion and I could enjoy the last loop.

I thought that the sprint was my best chance but I stayed calm knowing that there was still two individual events coming.

That was the worst 15 km ever in my life.
