The Winner Vita Semerenko (Ukraine):
-The competition was a success for me . I set a goal to finish the World Championship like this. I had to keep after Olga Zaitseva whole time. I was worried during the last shooting round. But in the end I made one less mistake and tried to keep that advantage until the finish. I thank Olya for the great competition.

The winner Maxim Tchoudov:

-I must admit that it's really hard to compete in my hometown. My health was not the best today, because I didn't feel very well during the previous competition. I did my best today. Anton and I were side to side at the final lap. I understand that my teammates are stronger than me now. You all know well that I missed lot of training. I did my best at the final lap. It turned out well and I'm very happy. I thank my family, relatives and the fans who are present here today for their support. And, of course, I'd like to thank my teammates who made me work at the last lap. I still cannot fully get over it.
