Odermatt was 37 hundredths faster than his young team-mate, who was the best in the super-G the day before - and in which Odermatt had to settle for 7th place. The Slovenian Miha Hrobat, who started with the number 1, lost 57 hundredths of a second on the best time. Justin Murisier is the third-best Swiss in 7th place, Stefan Rogentin, third in the super-G the day before, is in 11th place.
The day after the super-G, Odermatt showed the expected reaction and is now on the verge of his third victory in the Lauberhorn downhill. Last winter in Wengen, he won both the substitute competition for one of the two races on a shortened course that were canceled in Beaver Creek, Colorado, and the downhill over the original distance.
With victory number 43 in the World Cup, Odermatt has already completed half a dozen first places this winter. He had previously dominated the giant slaloms in Val d'Isère, Alta Badia and Adelboden, the super-G in Beaver Creek and the downhill in Val Gardena/Gröden.
Von Allmen used his high to produce another magnificent performance, which was anything but a matter of course after the hype following his premiere victory a good 24 hours earlier. However, the man from the Bernese Oberland was able to ignore the past as well as the further increase in expectations and put his focus back on his task.
Together, Odermatt and Von Allmen could ensure that the magnificent Swiss series in the downhill races continues. With the next double, what the Swiss-Ski athletes had already achieved in the previous three downhill races could become a reality. In Beaver Creek, Justin Murisier celebrated his World Cup victory premiere ahead of Odermatt, in Val Gardena/Gröden Odermatt also won ahead of Von Allmen and in Bormio Alexis Monney again ahead of Von Allmen.
