SZOCS BSZOCS Bernadette

On winning gold, having had to settle for a silver in the mixed doubles tournament:

"This is a precious medal.
"Until today I was very sad about my mixed final because we lost it, but today I said to Sofia (women's doubles partner Sofia Polcanova, AUT) that we have to win a gold one because I don’t want to think any more about this.
"The silver in mixed doubles means a lot, but gold is gold and I’m very happy that my dreams come true because we worked very hard or these Europeans (European championships) and generally my life is 99 per cent table tennis, I am a sports girl so I am very happy that hard work pays off.
"In the mixed doubles it’s also very good because until now we were in third place two times and now we were in second place so it is better. I’m hoping that next year it will be even better."

On the gold medal:
"I cannot believe that we are first but at the same time I can believe it because we are a really strong double. We have worked very hard, we dreamed about this and we are very happy that our dream come true. We hope that from now on we will always be in the same place."

DRAGOMAN ADRAGOMAN Andreea

On having to settle for silver after losing the gold medal match:

”For me it feels like a gold. I am really happy that I won with Eliza (doubles partner Elizabeta Samara, ROU).”

ROU

SAMARA ESAMARA Elizabeta

On having to settle for a silver medal after losing the final:

”For us it’s like a gold medal. This is our first final, our second tournament together, and I’m hoping for many more to come.”

On what made Bernadette Szőcs (ROU) and Sofia Polcanova win the gold medal match:
”They are stronger, they have been playing together for four years. You could see in the final points that they were better than us but we were just doing a great job.”

AUT

POLCANOVA SPOLCANOVA Sofia

On winning gold without conceding a single set in the tournament:

"My dream to win a gold medal finally has come true and this medal means a lot to me because I was injured for a long time and to have a comeback like that I’m very proud of myself and of ’Berni’ (doubles partner Bernadette Szőcs, ROU), of both of us.
"We worked hard for this goal. Each match we went in with the goal to win here. Even though we didn’t tell this to each other we knew that we wanted gold, and we prepared a lot. I also came to Bucharest to practise doubles with her. We are also very good friends outside of the table and understand each other very much. That is also a key to our success."
