Switzerland’s Marco Odermatt reacts after completing in Sunday’s men’s World Cup giant slalom race in Adelboden, Switzerland.
Austria’s Marco Schwarz speeds down the course during Sunday’s men’s World Cup giant slalom race in Adelboden, Switzerland.
ADELBODEN, Switzerland — Swiss ski star Marco Odermatt is almost unbeatable in World Cup giant slaloms — and especially at his home classic race.
Odermatt skied at his limit in the second run Sunday to rise from third place and win at Adelboden for the fourth straight year.
It was the 15th straight World Cup giant slalom since February 2023 that Odermatt has won when he completed the race. He skied out in three others.
Victory Sunday again denied his teammate Loïc Meillard, the first-run leader who finished 0.20 seconds back without making any major mistakes.
Luca De Aliprandini surged from 12th fastest in the morning to place third, trailing 0.69 behind Odermatt.
Only De Aliprandini was faster than Odermatt in the second run, as the Olympic and world champion raced aggressively in fast-fading light and felt his skis clash together approaching the steep final slope.
Both Norwegian contenders, Henrik Kristoffersen and United States-born Atle Lie McGrath, crashed out early in their second runs.
Odermatt’s fourth straight win on the storied Chuenisbaergli hill matched the record of Alpine great Ingemar Stenmark from 1979-82.
The 27-year-old Swiss star extended his leads in the giant slalom and overall World Cup standings in search of a fourth straight crystal trophy in both. He also leads the downhill and super-G standings ahead of races at nearby Wengen next weekend.
