Marco Odermatt dominates in Aspen: 13th win of the season and new records!

Aspen, USA - dream start into the season or bitter slip? The Swiss ski star Marco Odermatt, who was considered a dominant force in the giant slalom, experienced a bitter disappointment last Sunday at the race in Beaver Creek. After a promising first run, in which he was in eighth place, he left in the second run after just a few seconds. "It has never happened to me now. Somehow it comes in, I have to solve briefly and I am already over. So that's almost embarrassing," said the 27-year-old self-critically towards SRF and remains looking for his first points in the current season, such as krone.at reported.

Despite the lousy result, Odermatt is fearless. "It doesn't change much. I know that if I ski well, I can win these races," he emphasized combative. The voices from the environment indicate that his aggressive driving style, which made him invincible in the past, is currently being doomed. "Marco drives extreme inner layers, and in the past he has often been able to save himself over the inner ski," said ORF camera drivers Joachim Puchner in an interview with the "Blick".

The following Saturday, however, was able to go onto Odermatt and win the ninth giant slalom for this season. In the final in Aspen, he prevailed with a brave run and a lead of 0.34 seconds before his compatriot Loic Meillard. In doing so, he compensates for the bitter breakdown from Beaver Creek and sets impressive records: it was his 13th win of the season with which he leveled prize brands like Ingemar Stenmark and Hermann Maier, like Kleinezeitung.at . The Austrians, on the other hand, had a hard time, the best of them, Stefan Brennsteiner, landed in eleventh place, while Dominic Raschner improved from 24th to 14th place.
