"I feel better than yesterday actually," said Massot, who had fallen on the triple Salchow in the Short Program. "It was a good fight. I would say that this free program is a good first job for the season. We still have to work, it's not perfect, and there are some mistakes, but we are in a good way for the Olympics."
"We are very happy, we did our best," said Yu. "We are very glad to go to the Grand Prix Final again."
"Today wasn't our best skate, but it wasn't our worst," Duhamel said. "Overall we're happy with our competition. This is a part of going to the Grand Prix Final, the last Grand Prix we're competing [at] and I refuse to feel frustrated. We're on the podium with these great teams and it was a great competition and we want to be proud."
