"I want to go full in the 1500m. No reserves. And then on the 10,000m I will skate 100%, but not 105% or 90%."

"This 1500m is the last before the World Cup in Heerenveen, where I intend to qualify for Nagano. I hope I can skate four distances in Nagano."

"I wish Fabris skated better and were more of a challenge. It would have been nice to have a real battle with him, like Bøkko and Hedrick had. It would have been fun to skate with one of them otherwise."
