Odermatt becomes Switzerland’s most successful male skier with another GS win on the Gran Risa

Associated Press  

LA VILLA, Italy — Marco Odermatt is back to his imperious best. Odermatt followed up his first win in Val Gardena in Saturday’s downhill by winning a World Cup giant slalom on Sunday as he continued to dominate the Gran Risa to become Switzerland’s most successful male skier. It was Odermatt’s 41st World Cup victory, putting the three-time defending overall champion one above Pirmin Zurbriggen for wins for the Swiss men’s team. Pirmin Zurbriggen is the biggest legend we have in Swiss skiing history so this is a very special moment.” Odermatt was third fastest in a tricky first run in Alta Badia but was much more aggressive in the second to make it back-to-back GS wins after a difficult start to the season. Odermatt won the first nine of 10 giant slalom races last season on his way to a third straight crystal globe in the discipline as well as a third straight overall title.
