Marco Odermatt: Triumph in the Super-G and praise from ÖSV legend Reichelt!

In a gripping competition, the Swiss Marco Odermatt triumphed at the Super G World Cup in Beaver Creek. With a wafer -thin lead of only 18 hundred stones, he prevailed against the Frenchman Cyprien Sarrazin and thereby celebrated his first win of the season and a total of 38th in the World Cup. "It was a brutally difficult race," said Odermatt after the run, which was characterized by demanding tactics and challenging course design. Many athletes had difficulties and only four of the first ten starter reached the goal, which underlined the challenges of the race, as Bluewin.ch reported.

The ÖSV legend Hannes Reichelt, who praised the Swiss, was also particularly impressed by Odermatt's performance: "Simply a great type, this Odermatt," he commented. Reichelt not only emphasized the sporting skills of the Nidwaldner, but also emphasized his team spirit, who became visible during the departure when Odermatt congratulated his teammate Justin Murisier in the victory. With his positive charisma, he was a role model on and next to the slopes, according to the former ski racer, such as krone.at reported.

The main trainer Reto Nydegger took a course that made the greatest demands on all participants. Sarrazin, who was now second after an unexpected ninth place in the departure, reflected on the additional pressure situations that go hand in hand with his rising career path. "I have to work on enjoying the moment," said Sarrazin optimistically. The competition promises to remain exciting, especially with Odermatt, which is back on the road to success and is now concerned with the next challenges with new self -confidence.
