"Marco Odermatt added another milestone to his already glittering résumé on Friday, January 23, claiming his 53rd career World Cup victory with a razor-thin Super-G win on the Streif in Kitzbühel, Austria. On a course where precision mattered as much as raw speed, the Swiss star proved once again why he remains the benchmark in the discipline. Rounding out the podium were his teammate Franjo von Allmen and Austria's Stefan Babinsky."
"Nils Allegre in bib 1 set the pace for the Super-G course with a time of 1:09.13. The Frenchman's run stood as a solid reference, with four skiers initially failing to match it. Italy's Dominik Paris, starting in bib 6, was the first to crack the mark, undercutting Allegre by 0.27 seconds. While several racers looked poised to take the lead through the top section, many hemorrhaged valuable time on the demanding lower half of the Streif."
Marco Odermatt secured his 53rd World Cup victory with a narrow Super-G win on the Streif in Kitzbühel, posting a winning time of 1:08.41. Nils Allegre set an early benchmark of 1:09.13 from bib 1 before Dominik Paris undercut him by 0.27 seconds. Stefan Babinsky moved briefly into the lead before Franjo von Allmen lowered the time again. Alexis Monney struggled and finished over a second back; Swiss Ski confirmed the 26-year-old was battling a cold and not at full strength. Odermatt attacked the top, preserved speed through the mid-section, and held a deep tuck to the finish to clinch victory.
