It’s Pretty strange for me. After 8 years it was my first time in the gate and it was a strange feeling but it was fun.

I/V Sigfrid Wolf (in German)
Yes I think it’s a very good idea, It motivates the young people and you can see that the Olympic games are really something special and that motivate them for their training and the next level.

IV Sigfrid Wolf
Yes I think its good, mixed men and women and the team and I think its really interesting for the people to look and interesting for the skier.
The atheltes are fighting against each other in this course and I think that’s really interesting that’s what we don’t have in Apline Skiing so I think new events – this is a good change for ski sport
IV Jacques Rogge, President IOC
They are a great success. They were a great success already in the summer games in Singapore. We’ve introduced them also and we will introduce them also in Sochi in 2014 for example the biathlon will be a mixed event so that’s really something we think is going to appeal not only to the athletes but also the spectators and the TV viewers

I think this is wonderful to see a gold medal from Morocco. It is really the expression of the spirit of the Youth Olympic Games, where we have these nations that are not traditional winter sport nations entering their athletes, training them well and getting success.
