He set the record straight. He is there and he also believes in the absolute World Cup, to sign a sensational comeback in the general against Alexis Pinturault, who now defends 31 points of margin. Marco Odermatt frightened the Frenchman, with the devastating second heat in today's giant of Kranjska Gora, overwhelmed by more than a second of margin on all rivals, including the French only fourth and now behind the Nidvaldese also in the specialty ranking at one race from the term.
Of course, there is the slalom on Sunday for Alexis, but also a frightening competition between the tight posts and therefore it will be hard to earn a lot on the Swiss side, who will then be able to play everything in the home finals in Lenzerheide. Yes, the cup is more open than ever. “I don't really know what he did, but I'm very happy with how I skied in the 2nd heat - explained Odermatt candidly immediately after the race to the FIS microphones - Giant's Cup and overall? Let's say that we are making this season finale interesting, and to say that in recent years I always arrived cooked in spring.
Now I am finding energy and certainly this situation galvanizes me ”.
