He believes in it, and could not do otherwise now that he is there, just 81 points behind Alexis Pinturault who remains the leader of the overall standings of the World Cup, but certainly can no longer sleep peacefully with six races to go.
Marco Odermatt sees the transalpine after having demolished the entire competition with a simply crazy super-g today in Saalbach-Hinterglemm, and beware because next Saturday in Kranjska Gora there will be a giant that the 23-year-old from Nidwalden really likes, on the podium in the '' last race held on Podkoren two years ago. "It would be wrong to complain about a race like this, but in super-g you can always find a few cents less - explained Odermatt in the post race at the" Blick ", after having presented himself on the podium with the" famous "mask designed by his teammate. Justin Murisier, today great 5th - It was a particularly difficult test, I really risked below and in the end I felt a unique feeling, when you are faster than the world champion by eight tenths, it is really something incredible.
The world Cup? Yes, I took a big step forward, I think it will be a struggle until the last race and you can't make mistakes. I will have to go to the limit in every race, and it is nice to still have the theoretical possibility for the super-g cup, even if Kriechmayr is ahead of a lot '' (83 points, ed). Perhaps, however, he will be more nervous than usual in Lenzerheide ... ”.
And Kriechmayr himself, on the podium behind an amazing Matthieu Bailet (first podium in his career, "incredible to believe, especially in super-g", declared the Frenchman), declares himself "very happy for Raphael's result ( Haaser, the great 4th teammate just two cents from the world champion), and I would have been even if he had finished in front of me. I was not able to close the accounts for the cup, Marco is the right winner of a great super-g ”.
