Beijing, September 16 - Comments from coaches and athletes of Canada and Denmark after their classification 5/6 places match.

Michael Huzulak (Coach of CAN)

On original goal:

"We did not really reach our original goal, but we got a lot of experience at this tournament. We see it as training."

On experience gained:

"It's surely different and we got experience from every game, and improved ourselves."

On the team:

"They live in different places around the country. It's hard for them to get together. So we only gather at the weekend every six months to have our training."

Robert Christy (CAN)

On Jeffrey Christy:

"Jeffrey and I are brothers. He started playing first and I followed him. I've been playing for about 15 years."

On future tournaments:

"This tournament is only a starting point. Other international tournaments are waiting for us. We won't be younger, but we'll absolutely be better."

Gregers Lehrmann Bruun (Coach of DEN)

On the match:

"We won the game with Canada today, but the victory was too late. We could have played much better."

On impression of this tournament:

"The tournament is well arranged. The spectators are nice. The players are excellent. There are a lot of good volunteers."

On preparation for the tournament:

"We had a little training before the tournament. We had matches with our neighbor Sweden before the tournament."

Martin Enggaard Pedersen (DEN)

On achieving revenge for their loss to Canada three days ago:

"Last time we lost 5:6. This time we won 4:3. It was a close match. But I am so happy we won this time."

On his next tournament:

"Maybe January in Finland or May in Slovenia."

On goals for 2008:

"Our goal before the Paralympics is not to win but to practice. But certainly I hope we will win."

Ricky Nielsen (DEN)

On his birthday (September 18):

"I will stay with my family, and enjoy being back home again."

On the result:

"I'm satisfied with the result because we had injuries, and good games and bad games. We are satisfied."

On Peter Weichel's illness:

"He is not well. He is out of hospital now and back in the hotel. He had stomach problems and I hope he will be fine tomorrow."
