Marco Odermatt: Disappointment at the World Ski Championships in Saalbach!

An unexpected disappointment for Marco Odermatt! The Swiss ski star, who has fought his way to the top of alpine skiing in recent years, had to finish without a medal at the World Cup downhill in Saalbach. Despite his impressive career and the hope of being crowned double world champion in Super-G and downhill, he only finished fifth. Odermatt had his sights set on the best time of his teammate Franjo von Allmen, but a few crucial mistakes in the lower section of the track left him with no chance of a podium finish crown reported.

A lost golden dream

With this defeat, Odermatt missed the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of legends like Hermann Maier and Bode Miller, who achieved the rare feat of a double world title in the main disciplines of super-G and downhill. Four years ago, Vincent Kriechmayr also managed to achieve this impressive achievement. Another part of his sporting career, Odermatt showed himself this way during the last World Cup races in Beaver Creek, Colorado, where he was able to look back triumphantly on his 44th career victory in the history of the Alpine Ski World Cup NBC Sports.

What is particularly noteworthy is that Odermatt, who is also the Olympic champion in the giant slalom and has already collected world championship titles in various disciplines, is still seen as one of the favorites in the overall ranking. He has already achieved seven victories this season and is well on his way to consolidating his dominance in international skiing. With the World Cup in Saalbach just around the corner, the question remains: Will Odermatt overcome the challenges that lie before him and create the masterpiece that has so far eluded him?
