Marco Odermatt put down a blistering run to win the super-G in Aspen on Sunday and capture his first season title in the discipline, making history as the only skier to win five super-Gs in a single men's season.
Trailing after the first interval time, the Swiss speedster flipped a switch to cross the finish line in one minute 6.80 seconds, 0.05 seconds ahead of Germany's Andreas Sander with Norway's Aleksander Aamodt Kilde in third."Five victories in one season is pretty cool and securing the globe before the final is even better."
The amiable 25-year-old with a fluid skiing style said that his approach going into the race was to simply relish the opportunity."I wasn't counting points at the start for the globe, I just wanted to enjoy the race. It was a really cool hill for super-G, a really nice course. I was excited to race it and wanted to show my best."
