Marco Odermatt still has all the ball chances

Bansko / Buochs ​​- Even if Swiss ski racer Marco Odermatt were to give reigning world champion Mathieu Faivre the victory in the second giant slalom in Bansko, former DSV athlete Frank Wörndl believes that the Swiss can win as much in the small as in the big ball. The question is: Will Faivre’s teammate Alexis Pinturault participate? There are three speed races in Saalbach-Hinterglemm on the weekend calendar.

Even after the first giant slalom in Bulgaria, Swiss ski coach Tom Stauffer rumbled. The second time the Swiss gentlemen reacted. Five athletes ranked in the top twelve. This was the last case in the return of the 2001 season in Åre. In addition, Pinturault now feels the pressure of the young Swiss. In the giant slalom classification, the Swiss is only 25 points behind the member of the Equipe Tricolore, in the general classification he is 210 points.

The declines could be the key to success. Although Pinturault remained without counters in the fastest discipline this winter, the Swiss ski athlete managed to convince with about 10 first results. Back to Wörndl. The 1987 slalom world champion and today’s Eurosport commentator think the Frenchman could muster. But the statement that it will be billed last also applies here.
