"It saw Marco Odermatt stage his defense of his 2024-25 Super-G Crystal Globe with a precision-crafted victory on Thursday, November 27, mastering a course that proved unforgiving for many of the early starters as warm temperatures and soft snow created a slower track. The Swiss star, who is aiming to become only the third man in history to win four consecutive Super-G Globes, won ahead of Austrian Vincent Kriechmayr and Raphael Haaser."
"The softer, warmer conditions in the top section were immediately apparent when Ryan Cochran-Siegle from Team USA opened race day. The son of Olympic slalom champion Barbara Cochran was pinned off-line near the bottom and nearly spun out before recovering, losing crucial time to finish in 1:08.53. That run ultimately held up for 10th place, though his early mistakes foreshadowed the difficulty many were about to face."
"Austria's Stefan Babinsky, wearing bib 5, was the first to wrest the lead away from Cochran-Siegle despite several visible mistakes. The previous three skiers had failed to unseat the American. Second starter, Austria's Stefan Eichberger, ended his race with a DNF after struggling on the same section as Cochran-Siegle, while France's Nils Allegre also fell behind, finishing in overall 26th place."
Marco Odermatt delivered a precision victory at Copper Mountain to defend the 2024-25 Super-G Crystal Globe and pursue a fourth consecutive title. Warm temperatures produced soft snow and a slower, more unforgiving course that challenged many early starters. Vincent Kriechmayr and Raphael Haaser completed the podium behind Odermatt. Ryan Cochran-Siegle opened with a 1:08.53 after a near spin and finished tenth. Stefan Babinsky briefly led despite mistakes; Stefan Eichberger DNFed and Nils Allegre finished 26th. Cameron Alexander and Guglielmo Bosca staged notable comebacks from serious injuries, while Aleksander Aamodt Kilde made an important return to racing.
