The decision in favor of Odermatt came after Aleksander Kilde had already decided not to participate in the races in Kranjska Gora last Sunday in Aspen, Colorado.
Even if the Norwegian had started in Slovenia, his chance of intercepting Odermatt would have been only theoretical. Odermatt leads the overall standings with a lead of 386 points. This means that a 16th place on Saturday or Sunday would have been enough for his second overall victory.
At the season finale next week in Soldeu, there are still races in all four disciplines on the schedule, so there are still 400 points to be won. But because Kilde has never competed in a World Cup slalom and will do so in Andorra, the overall World Cup winner this winter is Marco Odermatt. Defended the title at the age of 25, what a great achievement! (SDA/dti)
