Eric Murray and Hamish Bond

This is our 5th World Championship gold medal and each one is special in its own way. We are pleased to be back on course after the Olympic Games. We pride ourselves for being consistent. We respect all the other pairs and we have set benchmarks, everyone is expecting us to win, but we can say that we feel that the field is getting faster, so we have to stay on top of our game. We put a lot of work into this season and now we are relieved that it’s over. We always try to go as fast as possible and not to become complacent. It is very hard to do that and we think that sometimes people don’t understand how hard it is to be on top at every race. Even if we sometimes don’t perform at our best, we are still able to win.
