WENGEN, Switzerland — The powerful Switzerland men’s ski team won its home World Cup super-G on Friday, though it was Franjo von Allmen getting his first career win as Marco Odermatt had a rare poor result.
Swiss teammate Stefan Rogentin was 0.58 back in third in the longest super-G of the season. Von Allmen's winning time of 1 minute, 47.65 seconds was more than some downhills. “I’m feeling good heading into downhill. It’s been a bit of a journey finding confidence on my skis again but I’m feeling comfortable and wiling to push so I think anything can happen.”Friday's conditions suited downhill racers on a sunbathed day on the storied Lauberhorn hill where Von Allmen topped 133 kph on the Haneggschuss straight.
Three-time defending overall World Cup champion Odermatt had an uncharacteristically slow run in a super-G and did not get his tactics right through a tight section of turns that always is key at Wengen.
