Hennig looked shocked and the German commentators barely got anything to say when Victoria Carl sprinted down Jonna Sundling and accounted for one of the biggest bangs so far in the Beijing Olympics.
- We feel that we are in a film with the wrong script.
We can not believe what managed to do.
I'm completely speechless that we could succeed.
I am incredibly proud and grateful and have no words to express it, says Katharina Hennig to German Bild.
Victoria Carl was given the confidence to drive only one hour before the start and replaced Katherine Sauerbrey and who she took responsibility for.
- When we went to the Olympics, no one expected a gold, there were no expectations, and yet we will go home with a gold.
It is fantastic, says Carl according to Reuters.
There may be double cakes in the German camp tonight.
Coach Peter Schlieckenrieder turns 52 today.
- It is not possible to imagine something like this.
You can not ask for a nicer birthday present, says Schlieckenrieder according to Bild.
