Marco Odermatt appears all but certain to win the overall Alpine skiing World Cup title after emerging triumphant in the giant slalom race down the Slovenian slopes of Kranjska Gora on Saturday.
Olympic champion Marco Odermatt won a men's World Cup giant slalom Saturday as the Swiss skier locked up the overall title.
Marco Odermatt stretched his lead at the top of the giant slalom World Cup standings with a fifth season victory. In the penultimate weekend of the season in Slovenia, Odermatt finished in a time of 2:16.65 to pip Alexis Pinturault of France and Norway's Henrik Kristoffersen to top spot.
Marco Odermatt all-but confirmed his second overall Alpine skiing World Cup title after he battled to another giant slalom victory in Kranjska Gora. Odermatt was the class of the field in the first run but looked tired in the second leg and just did enough to beat Alexis Pinturault by 0.23 seconds to win his fifth giant slalom of the season. Ad Only Aleksander Aamodt Kilde could mathematically beat Odermatt to the overall Crystal Globe, but he’s not racing in Slovenia this weekend, so the Swiss skier is guaranteed to wrap up the title after Sunday’s giant slalom.
Austrian Marco Schwarz had been a perpetual World Cup bridesmaid, but he held off Marco Odermatt to claim victory in the giant slalom at Palisades Tahoe. The weather was cold and cloudy, and the prediction called for heavy snowstorms, but the Stifel Palisades Tahoe Cup was given the go-ahead after a one-hour delay. Ad Once action got underway, last weekend's slalom World Cup winner Henrik Kristoffersen made a strong showing as the first racer down the course.
Norway’s Henrik Kristoffersen rallied from 16th place after the first run to win the world Alpine skiing championships slalom.
COURCHEVEL, France: Norway's Henrik Kristoffersen took gold in the final men's slalom of the Alpine skiing world championships on Sunday (Feb 19) while Alexandros "AJ" Ginnis finished second to give Greece a first ever winter sports medal.
