Marco Odermatt breaks Hermann Maier's 23-year ski points record with sensational victory in Soldeu

Marco Odermatt broke a 23-year record as he claimed victory in the last men’s World Cup giant slalom of the season in Soldeu, Andorra. Odermatt’s win means he passes the all-time men's World Cup ski points record set by the great Hermann Maier in the 1999-2000 season. The highest overall points record belongs to Tina Maze, who claimed 2,414 points in 2013.

Ad The Swiss just needed to finish in the top three to break Maier's season record of 2,000 points, a feat he achieved in stylish fashion.

I was so tired and we partied hard on Thursday.

“Today wasn’t easy, I was nervous again because of those 2,000 points, so I really wanted this podium today. I don’t know what to say.” Questioned about what breaking Maier's record meant, Odermatt said: “Yeah, a lot actually. The past days, I always said: ‘no, no, not so important, just numbers’.

But now I knew it’s more important than I said. So, very happy that it worked." So, is there more partying on the cards on Saturday night? “I truly don’t know if I have enough energy because I’m really, really empty," laughed Odermatt. «Yeah, the important thing I guess was the race and we’ll see how much energy is left for the party.” Searching for his seventh World Cup giant slalom win this season and his 13th across all of the disciplines, Odermatt was 1.09s quicker than Alexis Pinturault in the first run.
