Marco Odermatt dominates World Cup super-G to match Bode Miller's tally of 33 wins

Swiss ski star Marco Odermatt restored the pecking order in men's World Cup super-G racing with a dominant victory Sunday in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, a day after he missed the podium for the first time in 13 races.

Racing in sunny conditions on the same course where he placed fourth in Saturday's overcast super-G, Odermatt outpaced the field with an all-attacking run to lead runner-up Raphael Haaser of Austria by 0.30 seconds.

"The conditions for sure helped me. Today I knew the good snow is also next to the line, so I knew I can attack," Odermatt said. "Even if I get off off the line, I can still manage to ski clean and don't get injured and that was important for my mindset."

"It was a run on the limit. We saw at inspection it would be a completely different race," said Odermatt, referring to the iced top layer that made the course surface harder than in Saturday's race.

Odermatt said he had been "not too disappointed" after Saturday's result.

Franjo von Allmen added to the Swiss success by finishing 0.61 behind in third for his maiden podium, a day after he placed ninth in what is von Allmen's first full season on the World Cup.

Odermatt praised his teammate, who made the top three in only his 12th start on skiing's top-level circuit.

"Incredible, it's Franjo's first World Cup season. What he showed this season even before this podium was great. Today, he skied superbly. It's the first of many podiums for him," Odermatt said.

"For sure, it's very
