Kevin Krawietz and Andreas Mies - rarely speechless

Kevin Krawietz - "We're stepping on the gas"

"We're having a real blast tonight. We have a small crew with us, and that's where we go."

"Being part of the story is always a bonus point. We would never have dreamed that we would be named in the same breath as the icons."

Andreas Mies - "How many beers did you have?"

"If someone had told us last year that we were coming back and defending the title, we would have asked, 'How many beers did you have?'"

"I really have to be careful what I say. I'm so emotional and in such a celebratory mood that I could really slip out of my mind."

"We were already on the autobahn three times in the third lap, but made a U-turn and stayed here."

"Last year we didn't manage to demolish the Eiffel Tower with 56 men. We rattled it, but it's too stable. That's why it won't happen this year with 14 men - even though we have enough strength to do it it is possible."

"We'll show that on other surfaces too."

"We had very good financial security with Corona. Kevin went to Lidl anyway, maybe he treated himself to something bigger and took over."
