Odermatt Clinches Fourth Straight SuperG Title

Courchevel, France — Swiss skier Marco Odermatt clinched the men's Alpine World Cup superG title for the fourth straight season on Sunday, securing the discipline's crystal globe without needing to compete after both scheduled races here were canceled due to heavy snowfall.

The International Ski and Snowboard Federation announced the cancellation of Sunday's event hours before its start, stating that the slope was not safe to race on following overnight snow. Saturday's superG was also called off because of dense fog and persistent snowfall, with organizers noting that 30 centimeters of fresh snow had fallen in the previous 24 hours. With the season drawing to a close next week, neither race was rescheduled. The events were part of the final regular-season stop in the French Alps, a venue known for hosting major competitions in the vast Les Trois Vallées ski area.

Odermatt, 26, entered the weekend with a commanding 158-point lead over Austria's Vincent Kriechmayr in the superG standings after six races. Only one superG remains, at the World Cup Finals in Norway, where a victory earns 100 points, making Odermatt's margin insurmountable. He is the only racer to claim multiple wins...
