Marco Odermatt had every reason to celebrate this season – the chronology.

October 23, 2022

Marco Odermatt made the perfect start to this World Cup winter in the glacier giant slalom in Sölden – the defending champion triumphed almost eight tenths ahead of Slovenian Olympic silver medalist Zan Kranjec.

December 4, 2022

The Nidwalden native narrowly lost in a spectacular Super-G duel against Aleksander Aamodt Kilde at Beaver Creek. Nevertheless, Odermatt looks back on the strongest North American tour of his career on this day. He finished on the podium four times in four speed races.

December 10, 2022

While his great opponent Kilde decided not to participate in the giant slalom in Val-d’Isère after the long overseas tour, Odermatt, despite jet lag, drove the competition to the ground on the “Face de Bellevarde”. The Olympic champion triumphed 1.40 seconds ahead of Manuel Feller and thus celebrated his third victory of the season.

December 15, 2022

In fact, the roles for the double descent in Val Gardena are clearly divided: while Kilde on the Saslong is considered almost invincible with three victories in the last four years, Odermatt has so far only contested the Super-G on this route and is therefore classified as Outsiders at the start of the shortened descent in Val Gardena. But then the Buochser again demonstrated his extra class – he finished second behind Vincent Kriechmayr (Austria), Kilde was only fifth. Then he closes the old year with the huge success in Alta Badia and the Super-G triumph in Bormio.

January 7, 2023

Just like last year, Odermatt triumphed superbly in the giant slalom on the Adelboden Chuenisbärgli. In the following Lauberhorn week he finished second to Kilde in the downhill and third in the super-G.

January 20, 2023

Odermatt narrowly missed a catastrophe on the infamous Streif in Kitzbühel. Exiting the steep slope, he was able to avoid falling into the safety gate at the very last moment and finished the race in 54th place. When he left the finish line limping, his family feared a serious knee injury. In the evening the all-clear is given: Odermatt may have bruised his meniscus during his rescue operation, but nothing was torn!

After the shock on the Hahnenkamm, Odermatt celebrates a grandiose comeback by winning the Super-G in Cortina. While Kilde is out, the Swiss also triumphs 24 hours later in the second Super-G on the Tofana.

February 25, 2023

Although he contracted a serious flu virus during the long flight across the pond and spent a few days in bed with a fever after landing in San Francisco, new world champion Odermatt fought his way to second place in the giant slalom at Palisades Tahoe behind Austrian Marco Schwarz.

March 5, 2023

The two-time Swiss Athlete of the Year achieves two major successes in one race at the Super-G in Aspen: With his ninth win of the season, Odermatt secures the small Super-G ball. A few hours after this defeat, Kilde decides not to participate in the two giant slalom events in Kranjska Gora. This means Odermatt won the big crystal ball for the second time in a row.

March 12, 2023

Huge show from Odermatt in Slovenia! The dominator of the season is unstoppable in both of Kranjska Gora’s giant slaloms and secures the small ball – it’s his third this season alongside the overall World Cup and Super-G ball. craziness.

The man from Nidwalden did not end up on the podium in any Super-G World Cup this winter. With the victory at the World Cup final in Soldeu, he crowned his almost perfect Super-G season. But one question still haunts the ski world: Will Odermatt still break legend Hermann Maier’s 2000 milestone?

March 18, 2023

Yes, he does. And how he does it! Marco Odermatt wins the giant slalom at the World Cup final in Soldeu with a lead of 2.11 seconds (!) and sets a new record with 2042 points in his last race of the season. Odermatt makes himself permanently immortal!
