'Incredible' Odermatt sweeps up fourth consecutive World Cup
HAFJELL, Norway: Swiss ski star Marco Odermatt swept up his fourth consecutive World Cup overall and giant slalom crystal globes after finishing second on Saturday behind compatriot Loic Meillard in Hafjell.
Odermatt now has 1,596 points and a 635-point lead over Norway´s Henrik Kristoffersen and cannot be caught with five races left this season.
A lacklustre Kristoffersen finished 16th in Saturday´s race more than two seconds off the pace after failing to recover from a poor first run.
“It´s incredible to win two more globes,” said Odermatt, who also claimed the super-G for a third time to bring his World Cup trophy tally to 12 titles and is leading the way in the downhill.
“To push yourself over and over and over again in a long season is very tough, so I´m happy that this very successful Norway trip for me is over and now just a cool final week in Sun Valley.”
