"Aksel Lund Svindal, second in the last race in the career"

"ÅRE. He was only two hundredths from a world CHAMPIONSHIPS gold medal. "

"But for Aksel Lund Svindal was the downhill race is still the perfect ending. "

"– two days ago sucked Norway and in the day, we win, " says legend. "

"nLindsey Vonn is not the only legend that ends in Åre. Now have the Norwegian giant Aksel Lund Svindal made his final race – and it was almost the perfect denouement."

"Norway flopped in the super G competition, but in the downhill, it was twice Norway after Kjetil Jansrud knipit the gold, only two hundredths before Lund Svindal."

"– Two hundredths of a mm here or there doesn't matter. This is more than I expected and I tried to just enjoy, " says Lund Svindal and continues:"

" I must say that I was nervous before and ready to compete. I did not want to shoot on longer even if the conditions were challenging. It was a little extra pressure, I tend to think that there is a chance of many that will come, but it was not the case today."

"”No one who is forcing me to”"

"Lund Svindal made his first world cup competition for 17.5 years ago and has since won 38 victories, four OLYMPIC medals including two gold and nine world CHAMPIONSHIP medals, five of them gold."

"– It's not that someone forces me to stop. Even when I wake up in the morning, I think I will be satisfied with this decision, " said 36-year-old."

"It was full of Norwegian fans in place in Åre and the boiled, when the audience saw that it was twice the Norwegian in the top."

"– Åre felt very Norwegian in the day. Thanks to all who showed up it was very cool, " says Svindal, who continues:"

"– a few days ago sucked Norway and in the day, we win."

"Jansrud was unsure of world CUP start in the final because of a broken hand, but the Norwegian came to the start, and took his first gold. "

" I've always wanted to be able to call myself a world champion and now I can finally do it. To sit here with the hand and everything that's happened, I thought that I would have less chances than ever, " said Jansrud, who was happy to share the podium with his countryman. "

"– We have divided 16-17 years together and so we can be on the podium one last time, it's a fairy tale. "
