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

An unexpected disappointment for Marco Odermatt! The Swiss ski star, who has fought to the top of the alpine skiing in recent years, had to swing down without a medal on the World Cup departure in Saalbach. Despite his impressive career and the hope of crowning himself as a double world champion in the Super-G and in the departure, he only took fifth place. Odermatt had his sights on his teammate Franjo von Allmen, but some decisive mistakes in the lower section of the route gave him no chance of the podium, like that crown reported.

A lost golden dream

With this defeat, Odermatt missed the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of legends such as Hermann Maier and Bode Miller, who performed the rare feat of a double world championship title in the main disciplines of Super-G and departure. Vincent Kriechmayr also managed to achieve this impressive performance four years ago. Other part of his sporting course showed Odermatt during the last World Cup races in Beaver Creek, Colorado, where he was able to look back on his 44th career victory in the history of the Alpine Ski World Cup, so NBC Sports.

It is particularly noteworthy that Odermatt, who is also the Olympic champion in the giant slalom and has already collected world championships 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 on the best way to consolidate his dominance in international skiing. With the World Cup in Saalbach in front of the door, the question remains: Will Odermatt the challenges that are imminent to him, overcome, overcome and create his masterpiece, which has so far been denied to him?
