Fight for the crystal balls: Who triumphs in Sun Valley?

in Sun Valley, USA, the final races of the Alpine Ski World Cup season 2024/25 are imminent. The Swiss Marco Odermatt has already secured the large crystal ball and, with 1516 points, leads clearly ahead of Norwegian Henrik Kristoffersen (946 points) and its compatriots Franjo von Allmen (776 points) and Loïc Meillard (731 points). Odermatt could also incorporate several small crystal balls in the remaining races after he has shown extraordinary performances in the various disciplines, as well as watson.ch reported .

Especially in the departure has Odermatt the best cards, but his pursuer, Franjo of Allmen, is only 83 points behind him. In order to win the ball, Odermatt should not get worse than 15 at the season finale. In the Super-G he has already won his first world championship title and leads with impressive 491 points ahead of the Austrian Vincent Kriechmayr. In addition, he could win the giant slalom and his second downhill ball, while the Austrians have the option of a winless season, since Vincent Kriechmayr, as the best ÖSV man, only takes 12th place, as krone.at reported .

exciting decisions ahead

The women's world also offers exciting developments: Federica Brignone leads in the overall World Cup and has expanded its lead over the defending champion Lara Gut-Behrami to 322 points. A courageous competition is emerging in the departure rating, where Cornelia Hütter and Sofia Goggia also have chances of the crystal ball. Hütter is only 16 points behind Brignone and sees himself in a strong position to defend her previous year's title, while Gut-Behrami is in the lead in the Super-G. In the outstanding races, all athletes hope to secure the prestigious balls and end the season with a bang.
