"He is the legend in Switzerland," added the 27-year-old, who, despite difficult conditions, showed a dominant performance and left the competition with almost a second lead.

After Odermatt celebrated the first Swiss departure victory after 14 years in Val Gardena on Saturday, he was able to add more in Alta Badia on Sunday. With his victory, he becomes the first athlete to win both in Val Gardena and Alta Badia in a year, which makes this success all the more remarkable. Leo Anguenot from France reached second place and celebrated his first podium in the World Cup, followed by Alexander Steen-Olsen. Odermatt’s runtime in the second round was the fastest of the day, with its stability and dynamics shine even under unfavorable visibility, such as suedtirolnews.it reported.
