Pryma commented: "When the girls were on the track, I was watching how the Ukrainian women in Ruhpolding were doing. They were leading at that moment and it was in some way inspiring for me. Before the last shooting and at the range I was trying not to think about anything else. On the final lap I received the information from the coaches about the lead and I could calmly finish the race."
