Odermatt's Alpine Dominance: Third Super-G Crystal Globe and Counting

Marco Odermatt secured his third straight Super-G World Cup crystal globe, inching closer to a fourth consecutive overall title. In Kvitfjell, Norway, despite finishing fourth, Odermatt's lead was unthreatened by the absence of rival Mattia Casse. Italy's Dominik Paris celebrated a second win in three days.

Marco Odermatt, Switzerland's alpine skiing sensation, captured his third consecutive Super-G World Cup crystal globe and moved nearer to clinching a fourth overall title.

The race in Kvitfjell, Norway, saw Italian competitor Dominik Paris take the top spot, overshadowing Odermatt, who finished fourth but retained his lead due to the injury and withdrawal of Italian contender Mattia Casse.

This victory marked a notable return for 35-year-old Paris, achieving his 50th career podium, as he eyes the upcoming Winter Olympics on home soil in Milan-Cortina. Meanwhile, Odermatt holds a commanding position and looks to solidify his dominance in the upcoming giant slalom in Hafjell, Norway.
