"Marco Odermatt entered the race in bib 10 and all bets were off. Odermatt, who left the Olympics without a gold medal, was here to remind everyone why he leads the World Cup standings ahead of his teammate and three-time gold medalist Franjo von Allmen. Though slightly off the pace in the top section, he charged through the mid-section and into the notorious "Hell" pitch, skiing into the lead by a commanding 0.98 seconds."
"His margin was so large that it seemed untouchable-until teammate Alexis Monney came dangerously close. Monney was faster than Odermatt in the top section and extended his advantage through sections two and three, skiing into the lead by nearly half a second. But he lost crucial speed toward the bottom and crossed the line just 0.04 seconds behind Odermatt."
"Switzerland put on a masterclass in men's speed skiing this weekend at Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. Three Swiss skiers-Marco Odermatt, Alexis Monney, and Justin Murisier stood atop the podium on Saturday, February 28, delivering a statement performance that reaffirmed who controls the World Cup narrative heading into the final stretch of the season."
