On winning silver
"It was really tough and a really close race. We are waiting a long time for the results because we didn't know if we were in second, third or fifth place.

"Maybe it's a little pity that we are not in first place, because during the world championships we were second. We would like to take revenge on Spain."
On winning bronze
Tim Hecker (GER)

On the race:
"It was an insane race. The start wasn't that good, we managed it earlier better. The start wasn't good, but the second half was great. We pushed really hard, the spectators were crazy loud and they carried us to the finish line."

Sebastian Brendel (GER)

On their physique helping in a headwind:
"We try to paddle fast in every condition. It's an outdoor sport, so you can have sidewinds, front winds, and wind from the back. We have to handle all conditions. This time we had a light headwind, it's good for us because we are heavy athletes with a lot of power, and maybe that was the key for us."
On winning gold
"It was an insane race. We have a very hard headwind and that makes the race a little bit harder. But we have a very good strategy to do the race and that's (why) we win the medal."

On their emotions:
"We do a very good race. The sensation was impressive and we don't have words to explain the feelings."

On Spain's canoeing success:
"A party mood. We're honestly happy, we have a very good team.

"In Spain we have a very hard battle to go to the Olympic Games and to go to the worlds (championships). This year we come here because we don't win the trials in Spain, but you can see the results. We have a good good team in Spain, and a very hard battle."
