Danil Zinovyev: "Any final is emotional"

Russia U16 forward Danil Zinovyev:

- Any final is emotional, especially when we wanted to win so badly. Everyone understood that the opponents would try hard against us. We have positive emotions from this tournament, I would like to thank everyone who supported us.

Russia U16 defenseman Artemiy Knyazev:

- It's great to win, all of us were hungry for the victory. It's a real honour for us to become Olympic Festival champions, I can't describe it with words. It was tough at the start of this final match, but we scored two goals and it became easier. In the third period, we scored three quick goals and finished the match as a contest. If I am honest, only the semi-final and final were true matches. The organisation here was top level.
