Medal record
|
At the 2016 Junior World Championships in Sochi, Russia, Odermatt was eleventh in downhill, took bronze in super-G, failed to finish the combined, won gold in giant slalom, and failed to finish the slalom. At the 2018 Junior Worlds in Davos, Odermatt won an unprecedented five gold medals (combined, downhill, super-G, giant slalom, and team event).
As a new junior world champion, Odermatt made his World Cup debut in March 2016 in the giant slalom at the season finals in St. Moritz. He gained his first World Cup podium at Kranjska Gora in March 2019,[1] and his first win came in December 2019 in a super-G at Beaver Creek, Colorado.[2]
In the next season, Odermatt started out strong with a 2nd place in giant slalom in Sölden, Austria.[3] On December 7th 2020, Marco Odermatt achieved his first victory in giant slalom. [4] He achieved 7 further podiums later in the season and fought Alexis Pinturault for both the giant slalom and overall world cup tour titles, but failed to win either of them and came in second in both rankings by the end.
Odermatt managed to win 7 races and reach 16 podiums in the 2021–22 World Cupseason, including his first podiums in downhill. He achieved his childhood dream of winning the historic giant slalom at the Chuenisbärgli in Adelboden. He finished the season with the overall and giant slalom title. In the super-g, he came second again.
Odermatt represented Switzerland in the giant slalom at the 2022 Winter Olympics. He won the Gold medal in the event, recording the fastest time of all riders in his first run and eventually finishing 0.19 seconds ahead of runner-up Žan Kranjec.[5]
