Victory took Odermatt to 640 points and with only one race remaining in the season, he holds an unassailable lead over Kilde. “It was a perfect super-G season from the first race until now,” Odermatt said.

“It was just fun to ski all the time on a nice course, a cool hill for super-G. “I really wanted to ski fast today and to secure the globe before the final is always a little bit of a relief. I can enjoy the final even more, so thankful for that.” Ortlieb wins Kvitfjell Super-G while Shiffrin waits to equal Stenmark’s record Lie takes gold in women's downhill, Goggia seals World Cup Crystal Globe Odermatt had words of praise for the support team behind the scenes in the Swiss camp.
