The day after his downhill victory in Val Gardena, Marco Odermatt won in style at Alta Badia. He signs his 41st World Cup success and overtakes Pirmin Zurbriggen in the pantheon of Swiss skiing.
And four! Marco Odermatt scored a 4th consecutive victory at Alta Badia, where no one seems able to beat him. Third in the first round, the 27-year-old Nidwalden clocked the best time on the second course to win with a significant margin over the Frenchman Léo Anguenot (+0''85) and the Norwegian Alexander Steen Olsen (+0'' 88).
After his 3rd place in super-G on Friday and his downhill victory in Val Gardena on Saturday, “Odi” managed an almost perfect weekend to take control of the general classification of the World Cup before the slalom planned on the Gran Risa Monday.
Dauphin of Odermatt, Anguenot (26 years old) created a surprise by signing the best result of his career. And with style, since he had never before entered the top-10 of a World Cup event. The podium was completed by Steen Olsen, winner in Sölden at the season opener.
Far behind “Odi”
The other Swiss did not experience such a celebration. Less comfortable in giant than in slalom this winter, Loïc Meillard took 16th place (+2”42). The Hérémence skier did not hide his frustration when reaching the finish area. Gino Caviezel (12th, +2''18), Luca Aerni (17th, +2''64) and Fadri Janutin (25th, +3''10) participated in the 2nd round, like Thomas Tumler, who was eliminated .
