Of his medal win, Anton said ” It’s good to be back on the podium. Qualification was very rough and I struggled but i made a few adjustments going into the final and everything was nice and tight and I felt good and comfortable from the word go so I could fight for it. I started off really well [in the final] and stuck within .3 or .4 [of the lead] and after a couple of bad shots, reset and finished well.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
