Olympic champion. World champion. And virtually unbeatable on the World Cup circuit.
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.
Team USA caused a huge shock and claimed their first-ever gold medal in the parallel mixed team slalom at Courchevel Meribel. A dramatic 3-2 win in the big final over reigning champions Norway sparked wild scenes of jubilation, as Timon Haugan tripped coming out of the starting gate and Tommy Ford raced to victory.
The Canadian team of Valerie Grenier, Jeffrey Read, Britt Richardson and Erik Read captured bronze in the team parallel event Tuesday at the alpine world championships in Courchevel-Méribel, France.
