This medal is big for our country.

It means a lot. Finland doesn't have that many medals from hockey. We just worked harder. We wanted more to win the game and now we got our offensive game lots better.

We are a tiny nation of 1.4 million people and one of the world's fastest shrinking populations. A country like ours will die out if it keeps drinking like this.

They're clearly way better than Stanford. I told the coach that 'your team is really good'. I don't understand how they have not won a game because they played good.

At the beginning, we were kind of careful, I'd say. If you try to be too careful, good things don't follow. You don't have confidence.

They always play good volleyball and we have to really be prepared. I think we are the better team, I think we wanted it more, we stayed focused.
