Swiss ski heroes: Allmen becomes world champion, Odermatt surprised!

In an exhilarating moment of winter sports, the Swiss Franjo of Allmen in Saalbach crowned the new world champion 2025! With a best time of 1: 40.68 minutes he took the lead and left the Austrian star Vincent Kriechmayr (silver) and Alexis Monney (bronze) behind. Von Allmen, who had passed the goal over three times over the entire season, surprised with a brave journey and thus showed that patience and looseness pay off. The celebrations after the competition were exuberant, as krone.at reported.

While the Swiss team broke out, Marco Odermatt, who could not achieve the medal with fifth place, was not ragged and a bald head. "We will celebrate to tip over," said allmen - and they did with great enthusiasm in a hotel near the slopes. The Kitzbüheler Alexis Monney, with a very fast time on the track, had previously got a new hairstyle during the celebrations in a restaurant in Kitzbühel - the "The Londoner", which only fueled the mood. Srf.ch reported that the Swiss experienced a radiant day in Saalbach.

With two rest days for the men and the upcoming competition of the team combination, the next challenge is pending. The Swiss and Austrian athletes will rethink their strategies and work towards another exciting duel on the slopes. Meanwhile, Saalbach remains the place for brilliant performance and unexpected twists in ski alpine.
