The ball remains in the hands of Pinturault, but with this Odermatt anything can happen ...

Lenzerheide: All information

The World Cup rankings after the super-g in Saalbach: the Swiss (who also kept the super-g cup alive) at -81 from Alexis, when there are six races to go. Pinturault can score points in all of them, but in Lenzerheide the direct rival could blow the bank even downhill.

A World Cup ended with the injury of Aleksander Aamodt Kilde? Not at all, since that day in mid-January almost two months have passed and between Alexis Pinturault and the dream of the absolute crystal ball chased for so many years, Marco Odermatt has forcefully inserted himself. The Swiss talent still seemed immature, at least at the level of continuity on several disciplines to be able to really play at this level, but between the second giant of Bansko and the two fast races of Saalbach here is that the Nidvaldese has sent a very clear signal. Less than 81 from Alexis, six races from the end of a cup that the transalpine will have to take in the technical races of the Lenzerheide finals, he will hardly be able to finish it earlier. Of course, the favorite remains Pinturault considering that the Courchevel champion can score points in all tests, including the final descent in which he should take part, running on a very technical track that he particularly loves (here he won the only super- g of his career, in the 2014 finals), but at the same time Lenzerheide can enhance Odermatt's characteristics also in the downhill, after Marco has already impressed in this discipline between the World Championships in Cortina and Saturday's race in Saalbach. It will restart next Saturday and Sunday from the two technical races of Kranjska Gora, while the super-g cup will be awarded on Thursday 18 in Lenzerheide with Kriechmayr who has not yet closed the accounts, but is still sailing with 83 points ahead of Odermatt himself, while Matthias Mayer is already certain at least of the final podium. A note related to the specialty WCSL: Dominik Paris returns to tenth position (considering the injured people who precede him) and, in the last test in Switzerland, he will therefore be the last to be able to choose the odd bib between 1 and on 19.
