- Niko, how do you feel with this gold medal around your neck?
"I feel nothing anymore. After the final whistle, I left the planet. I am on the cloud nine, I am flying. We are Olympic Champions, this is crazy!"
- Do you realise what you and your teammates have just reached?
"Not really. We have the gold medal, we are Olympic Champions. We have just realised something totally crazy, a great thing! I don´t find the words to desscribe what I feel, but I know that these moments are for eternity."
- What´s your schedule in the evening?
"We are in the bus now, you hear this noisiness. We are all roaring. We will change our clothes and we will go to celebrate in Club France. And we will give a lot of TV-interviews. Watch the screens, we will really paint the town red. We worked four weeks long. Now that we have the gold, we will have a blast."
- Niko, I would like to tell you that all the NK22 Team ist very proud of you and of the French squad. You have just done something legendary for the French handball.
"Thank you, this touches me inside. I would like also to thank all my fans and to all the people who sent encouragement messages on my website. They went all directly in my heart. I read them every evening before I went to sleep. So, this medal, this title, it is a bit yours, too. Thanks!We are Olympic Champions!"
