Marco Odermatt: Sensational Super-G World Champion-The Chocolate Debate!

An unexpected event causes a stir at the Ski World Championship in Saalbach-Hinterglemm! The freshly crowned Super-G world champion Marco Odermatt will not start at the upcoming team combination. The Swiss, known for his outstanding trips, explains in the ServusTV show "Sport und Talk" that he wants to focus his concentration entirely on the giant slalom, which has "higher priority" for him. "It still needs a lot of energy again," says Odermatt about the decision to do without the team combination in order to optimally prepare for giant slalom training, such as OE24 reported.

This decision comes especially after its triumphal appearance in the Super-G, in which Odermatt literally showed the competition with an outstanding run. With a lead of over a second on the second -placed Raphael Haaser, it is clear that Odermatt is in top form. Norwegian Adrian Smiseth Sejersted followed close behind Haaser, but everyone had to bow to the dominance of the Swiss world champion. This impressive performance is made by Aargauerzeitung that is documented by a "power demonstration" speak.

This World Cup seems like a repetition of his best performance - only two years ago he crowned himself in Courzevel as a world champion in the departure and in the giant slalom. The current result in the Super-G marks another historical moment, because it is the first triumph of a Swiss athlete in this discipline at a World Cup since Didier Cuche in 2009. After his glorious return to the podium, Odermatt draws a positive conclusion: "Being world champion in three disciplines is incredible." With the promising view of further medal cuts in the upcoming races, the question of participating in the team combination becomes explosive, because he himself is aware of the challenges, as he emphasized in his statement.
