Odermatt chases yet more immortality at men’s World Cup Finals
[ad_1]
There are just three men who can conceivably stop Marco Odermatt (SUI) from becoming the first man in 23 years to claim four season-ending Crystal Globe titles when the Audi FIS World Cup season comes to a thrilling close with the Finals in Saalbach, Austria 16-24 March.
One of them is the man himself not performing to his own extra-terrestrial standards – unlikely it seems given his record of 13 wins and seven podium finishes from his 23 starts this season. It is worth noting his other three finishes are a fourth and two sevenths.
The second skier who could prevent Odermatt from adding to his already secured overall and giant slalom titles said last month “there is no hope”. To the slight dismay of the home crowd no doubt, it was Austrian Vincent Kriechmayr (AUT) who gave this honest assessment of his chances of overhauling Odermatt’s 81-point lead in the super-G standings.
So, it comes down to one of the season’s breakout stars, Cyprien Sarrazin (FRA) to do his best to stop the Swiss winning machine.
