SOT, Markus, Hockey fan: “This is just unbelievable, everybody has been waiting for this for ages, and now the team was great, five games, five wins. We were hands down the best team in the tournament and we deserved the gold. It is just unbelievable, just unbelievable.”

SOT, Mika, Hockey fan: “Well, it’s like in the World Championships but it seems to be kind of sophisticated, there are not so many drunk people and not that many jerseys, but I think it is gonna be good after two hours, so it is going to be a good party here.”

SOT, Mika, Hockey fan: “Well, actually we don’t have any plans, it’s Sunday, nice weather, so we are just hanging here for a while and then we take a kind of medal coffee, coffee for the medals, as that’s a tradition, then we just have a normal Sunday evening.”
