It happens that a particular, magnetic, alchemical connection is established between a human being and a place. The aura of one nourishes the mythology of the other. The man seems born to express his talent here more than elsewhere, the place seems to exist to highlight his gesture. It’s Roger Federer playing at Wimbledon, Rafael Nadal winning at Roland-Garros, Miles Davis deceiving in Montreux, Paul Cézanne contemplating the Sainte-Victoire mountain. It’s Marco Odermatt hurtling down the Chuenisbärgli slope in Adelboden.
On Saturday, the 26-year-old skier from Nidwalden won the giant slalom in the Berne resort for the third time in a row in very special conditions. A thick fog like fondue served hot dog style in the World Cup village, deplorable visibility, a low start reducing the time of each round to less than a minute for the best. The kind of days conducive to sending all the predictions into the background.
