Marco Odermatt Clinches First World Cup Downhill Victory

The Swiss skier's win on home soil extends his lead in the World Cup standings to 372 points.

Swiss skier Marco Odermatt clinched his first World Cup downhill victory in his 36th attempt, after eight previous second-place finishes.
Odermatt's win came on his home nation's signature downhill track in Wengen, Switzerland, where he was 0.58 seconds faster than Cyprien Sarrazin.
This victory marks Odermatt's 30th career World Cup race win, following 18 in giant slalom and 11 in super-G.
Odermatt's win extends his lead in the World Cup standings to 372 points ahead of Marco Schwarz, whose season was ended by a crash last month.
The top three placings in the race mirrored the season-long downhill standings, with Aleksander Aamodt Kilde in third place.
