Albert Popov celebrated his victory premiere in Madonna on Wednesday. It was the first Bulgarian World Cup success since that of Peter Popangelov exactly 45 years ago, on January 8, 1980, in Lengries.

"This is everything we have been training for. I'm proud of myself and my team. We did it together," said Popov in the ORF interview. The 27-year-old skied to eighth place in the first run with bib number 20, before setting the fastest time in the snow.
"I thought: all or nothing!"
"I saw the course and I thought: all or nothing! I tried to always take risks." Popov also benefited from the retirement of half-time leader Atle Lie McGrath from Norway, who had a one-second lead over him in the start house.
