Marco Odermatt: The gold boy with the controversial hairstyle!

A memorable day for Swiss ski sports: Franjo von Allmen sensationally won gold on the World Cup departure in Saalbach, while his room colleague Alexis Monney won the bronze medal. While the athletes cheered, there was a bizarre hair campaign: Marco Odermatt and several coaches of the team were shaved after they had previously committed themselves to this daring step if one got out of their row. On an evening that looked like a celebration of the extra class, was seen with a redesigned hairstyle that earned him the comparison with Erwin Pröll, as krone.at reported.

The gold smash in the team

Actually, Odermatt was one of the great favorites and defending champions, but the top of the podium was denied - he took 5th place. Nevertheless, the team experienced an incredible solidarity campaign: "We agreed to shave our hair when one of us wins," said allmen and emphasized the team spirit. The medal celebration not only revealed the sporting success, but also the results of her hairy bet. The Swiss ski director Hans Flatscher and several coaches performed with painfully-looking hairstyles. "It is bad" confessed by allmen, whose shaved places were remarkably visible, such as dailyzeiger.ch supplemented.

For von Allmen, the success was overwhelming, especially in view of personal setbacks. His first great triumph covers the dark times of his youth when his father died and he had to fight for his career for a long time. "It feels great to win for my team and for all the people who supported me," said the new departure world champion. With this performance, the Swiss team not only carries medals home, but also celebrates a strong cohesion among themselves, which is even visible in the hairstyles. This could be the beginning of a new era in Swiss ski sports, where team spirit and individual achievements mix wonderfully.
