It is a domain of Marco Odermatt the descent into Val Gardena valid for the men’s alpine skiing world cup. The Swiss, with a time of 2’03″10, preceded his compatriot by 45 hundredths Franjo Von Allmen and 46 for the American Ryan Cochran-Siegle. Odermatt brought Switzerland back to success on the ‘Saslong’ slope, something that hadn’t happened since 2011 when Beat Feuz triumphed. He also became the most successful Swiss skier in the Cup, reaching the great Pirmin Zurbriggen at 40.

Better speakers than Italians
Mattia Cassewinner in the Super-G on the Saslong, was the best of the Italians but finished fourteenth, 0″82 behind Odermatt. Even further back, only twenty-fifth Dominik Paris a 1″15, Christof Innerhofertwenty-seventh at 1″21. “I expected a lot from the downhill and instead the victory in super-G arrived. It’s been a long time since I expressed myself like this in downhill, I think it’s a further step forward. Now tough races are coming and it will be fun”, Casse said.

Dominik Paris never in the race: “Today I tried to do my best, I tried to give my all but it didn’t work out. Odermatt made the difference on Ciaslat, I know I can’t do the same in that point but I should have done better in the lower sections me more favourable”, underlines the South Tyrolean champion.
