Just after finishing the pursuit competition , Sven received the message, that his girl-friend Doreen was in labour and already in the delievery room. She had sent him an sms when she was sure, that Sven already started his race in order not to disturb him. But after he got the message, Sven left the stadium as quickly as possible, not even changing his clothes let alone passing the flower ceremony. He arrived in the hospital in time and witnessed the birth of his first child. Emilia Sophie was born about 7 p.m., she is 52 cm tall and 3880 g.

Here are some pictures of the press conference with Sven, Feb. 9th in Oberhof:
