Marco Odermatt Locks up Overall and Discipline Title in Penultimate Downhill of World Cup Season
Odermatt matched Marc Girardelli’s record with five straight overall World Cup titles and earned his 10th discipline crown with a third consecutive downhill win.
- On Friday, Marco Odermatt clinched both the World Cup overall and downhill titles by finishing third in the penultimate downhill at Courchevel, France, on the 2023 world championships course.
- Because Lucas Pinheiro Braathen does not compete in downhills, Odermatt's lead was effectively insurmountable as the six remaining races are not enough to close a deficit of more than 600 points.
- Odermatt clocked the third-fastest time, 0.31 seconds behind Vincent Kriechmayr, with Giovanni Franzoni second, securing his third straight downhill globe and 10th discipline title.
- The victory gives Odermatt a fifth straight overall title, tying Marc Girardelli and behind Marcel Hirscher with eight titles, reflecting recent season globes won consecutively.
- After von Allmen went off course through soft snow in warm, sunny conditions, Odermatt knew before his run Friday that the downhill globe was secured.
