Marco Odermatt: A high -flyer with gold, Austria remains pale!

Saalbach, Österreich - A spectacular appearance by Marco Odermatt ensures cheers in Switzerland! At the Ski World Championship in Saalbach, the Nidwaldner drove with an impressive performance to the gold in the Super-G. With a lead of exactly one second, he exceeded his fellow campaigners and thus secured the first medal in this discipline at the World Cup level, as another brilliant chapter in his impressive career. "It was the perfect run," said the 27-year-old euphorically about his triumph, who now places him in a row with legends like Pirmin Zurbriggen and Hermann Maier, as well as Zsz.ch

The competition, especially the Austrians, had hoped to be able to triumph in his own country, but Odermatt left no doubt about who the true champion was. Armin Assinger, ORF expert, had expressed great expectations for the domestic athletes before the race and predicted an Austrian victory. However, he could not maintain this optimism. "Deppert" he now feels, the Swiss mottled after Odermatt's grandiose performance, such as oe24.at . Raphael Haaser secured the silver medal for Austria, which made success for the hosts at least a little sweeter, especially after an injury -related break from Haaser.

a masterful journey and the next challenge

If you can describe Odermatt's journey as magical, it was the relief that he radiated after the finish that made the moment perfect. Now, with the gold in the Super-G in his pocket, the world champion is already looking forward to the next challenge: "On Sunday I can show again what I have on it," he said optimistically with a view of the descent. The other Swiss athletes were also unable to convince, and the hopes for further medals remain unsafe. For Odermatt, on the other hand, the pressure that was on his shoulders has now given way, and he may be ready to further expand his gold collection.
