Marco Odermatt once once more impressed this Thursday. The World Cup leader indeed crushed the Wengen super-G, achieving an almost perfect round. Only the Norwegian Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, leader of the World Cup in the specialty, managed to stand up to the Nidwalden: in the lead at intermediate times on the top of the course, Kilde finally had to admit defeat by 23 hundredths of a second.
Odermatt used his exceptional snow touch and his technique at the end of the course, especially in the Austrian hole and in the final S, to make the difference compared to the Norwegian and the Austrian Matthias Mayer, third at 58 hundredths. . German Romed Baumann (4th at 0”61), Canadian James Crawford (5th at 0”77) and German Josef Ferstl (6th at 0”86) follow.
“I do not know what to say, it was a perfect day, reacted Odermatt at the microphone of the RTS. I already had good feelings this morning, but it was very tight with Kilde. He was quick at the top, but luckily on the bottom he lost time. “
This victory allows Odermatt to consolidate its first place in the general classification of the World Cup. With 945 points, he now has a lead of 396 points over Kilde (549) and 438 over Mayer (507). Odermatt also took second place in the provisional super-G general, 61 points behind Kilde (319 once morest 380).
Marco Odermatt can rejoice: he is currently on another planet.

On the other hand, Beat Feuz disappointed: the skier from Schangnau made a big mistake halfway through. He conceded a delay of 1’73 ” on the winner of the day (24th place).
Niels Hintermann finished in 14th place (+ 1”16), just ahead of Neuchâtelo-Valaisan Loïc Meillard (15th at 1”22). Valaisan Justin Murisier is a little further in the standings (26th at 1”80), while Gilles Roulin (37th at 2”45), Urs Kryenbühl (38th at 2”46) and Thomas Tumler (46th at 3”23) are dropped.
