Odermatt beaten:
No double gold! Marco Odermatt beaten
Disappointment for Marco Odermatt! The ski superstar from Switzerland surprisingly came away empty-handed in the World Championship downhill in Saalbach. However, he was happy for his team-mate Franjo von Allmen. "I'd rather a Swiss win than an Austrian," grinned the likeable 27-year-old.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The Super-G World Champion attacked his team-mate Franjo von Allmen's best time. However, Odmeratt made a few mistakes in the lower part of the course. As a result, he only finished fifth and was left without a medal.
"I knew that I had to go full throttle and take risks, but unfortunately I made two or three small mistakes," said Odermatt in the ORF interview. There was praise for triumphator and compatriot Franjo von Allmen: "What he showed today was unbelievably strong! We are a great team, we help each other."
No speed double gold
Odermatt thus missed out on an elite circle. Before him, only three skiers had managed to be crowned double world champion in the super-G and downhill in one place. Legend Hermann Maier in 1999 - the "Herminator" celebrated this double premiere in Vail/Beaver Creek. Bode Miller achieved the feat in Bormio in 2005. And four years ago, Vincent Kriechmayr won the gold medal twice in Cortina d'Ampezzo. Odermatt was (still) denied this.
