Odermatt again overall World Cup winner after Kilde’s resignation

class=”sc-97fd9fa8-0 jNFKxv”>

The decision in Odermatt’s favor came with the decision of Aleksander Kilde, already considered last Sunday in Aspen, Colorado, not to participate in the races in Kranjska Gora.

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, races in all four disciplines are probably still on the schedule, with 400 points still to be won in the best case – and in the most extreme form of gray theory. 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.

Odermatt is only the second Swiss after Pirmin Zurbriggen to win the big crystal ball more than once. The Walliser even triumphed four times in the overall World Cup (1984, 1987, 1988 and 1990).
