Overview

  • Organizers called off both scheduled super-G races in Courchevel due to heavy snowfall and fog that made the slope unsafe.
  • The canceled events will not be replaced, ending the penultimate stop that had already been set as a make-up for a lost Garmisch race.
  • With a 158-point lead over Austria’s Vincent Kriechmayr and only one race left worth 100 points, Marco Odermatt clinched the super-G Crystal Globe.
  • The Swiss star had already secured the overall World Cup for a fifth straight season and the downhill title for a third consecutive year.
  • The World Cup Finals are set for March 22 in Norway, where Odermatt also leads the giant slalom standings by 48 points over Lucas Pinheiro Braathen.
