SAALBACH-HINTERGLEMM, Austria — Marco Odermatt won gold in the men’s super-G at the Alpine skiing world championships on Friday, justifying his status as the big pre-race favorite.
Odermatt had a flawless run down the sunbathed Schneekristall course and pointed his finger up to the sky and started celebrating almost as soon as he reached the finish area. “I had the best feeling from the third gate. I felt my skis were perfect, did exactly what I wanted, and this gives you in a difficult super-G the confidence to ski your line, to attack, to search the limit, and not go over the limit.”
