Marco Odermatt believes in his chance in the battle for the great crystal ball

Lenzerheide – Swiss ski racer Marco Odermatt, who could be one of the tragic figures of this year’s ski season due to the canceled speed races in Lenzerheide, makes it clear: “If things are going well in the giant slalom , I try to slalom all the way to the finish. Fight! ”The Swiss, who is 31 points behind France’s Alexis Pinturault in the battle for the great crystal ball, last buckled up during the national championships. That was the case in 2018. But in the goal race, the 2018 multiple junior world champion isn’t even that awkward when we recall his golden career in combination.

Due to the knee injury he suffered in Alta Badia in 2019, he was unable to start the combination in Bormio. This year, Corona’s revised truck-free schedule didn’t make it easy for him to show his slalom skills. This week he wanted to increase the pressure on the competitors in the ranks of the Equipe Tricolore with two very good results in Downhill and Super-G, but as reported, the sprints were canceled due to extremely unfavorable weather conditions. In the giant slalom he is ahead of the French in the general classification.

Pinturault, 29, from Courchevel, openly admitted that the Swiss ski athlete overtook him after sprinting. Nor did he think about the cancellation of the Super-G. It also looks to the near future. The forecasts are not favorable; Seen this way, even the giant slalom is not so safe.
