葛西の試合後のコメントは以下の通り。

――おめでとうございます

ありがとうございます。ノーマルヒルではメダル取れなかったんですけど、本当にメダルを取るという難しさをすごく感じていて、今日も本当にレベルが高い試合だったんで、メダルを狙ってましたけど簡単に取れると思ってなくて、すごいいろんなことが頭でぐるぐる回っていて、もう、失敗したらどうしようとか、メダル取れたらどうしようとか、たくさん頭をよぎっていて、でも、2本ともいいジャンプができたと思います。

――2本目、得点がでるまで時間がありましたね。

そうですね。でも仲間たち。ダイキ、タク、レルヒがすぐ駆け寄ってきてくれたんで、絶対にトップに立ったのがわかったので、その時点でメダルが確定ということで、非常に嬉しく思いました。

――表彰台、一人でたった気分は?

初めてですね。個人戦でメダル取ったことなかったので。まあ明日、メダルセレモニーでどんな状況になるかわからないですけど、本当に楽しみにしています。

――92年のアルベールビルの初出場以来、いろいろとルールが変わったがなんでこんなに強いんだろうと不思議でした。

僕も不思議に思っています。負けたくないという気持ちが一番、強かったですし、そして、たくさんの方に支えてもらって、お父さんお母さん、姉、妹、そして会社の方たち、ファンの方たち、ずっといままでたくさん応援してくれてるんで、その応援に応えたいな、という気持ちでした。

――本当にレジェンドに。

金メダルを取って、本当にレジェンドと呼ばれたいなと思ってたんですけど、まだまだ、目標ができたので。その金メダルという目標に向かってまた頑張りたいと思います。

――まだ続きがあるということですね。

まだ諦めずに金メダルを目指して頑張りたいと思います。

ジャンプは、飛行距離に、ジャンプ時の姿勢を評価する飛型点を加え、吹いていた風や助走を始めるゲートの位置を補正しポイントを算出。上位30人が2回目に進出し、2回合計のポイントを競うルール。

日本選手は1回目、葛西紀明が139メートルで140.6ポイントで2位、伊東大貴が137.5メートルで128.1ポイントの8位、竹内択は132.5メートルで126.7ポイントの10位清水礼留飛が130メートルを飛んで122.2ポイントの15位と、全員が2回目に進んだ。

■伊東のコメント

(2回目、厳しい条件だったが)そんな中でもしっかり飛ばないとダメですね。自分の力のなさを感じました。最低限、入賞しないとダメですね。(葛西について聞かれて)本当によかったです。自分もメダル取りたい気持ちあったんですけど、2本目飛んでダメだったんでノリさんがとれて本当に良かったです。いい先輩を持ったなとつくづく思います。

■竹内

(2回目、厳しい条件だったが)プラス8点ってここのジャンプ台来て一番の追い風だったんですけど、自分の力のなさかなと思います。(葛西について聞かれて)いやあ本当にすごいですね。かっこいいとしか言い様がないです。

■清水

状況も良かったですけど、いいジャンプできました。今はもう力を出し切ったな、やりきったなという思いです。同じ日本人の先輩が銀メダル取る瞬間に立ち会えて嬉しいです。非常に充実したいいオリンピックになっていると思いますし、チーム(団体)も残っているんで頑張りたいと思います。
