Overview

  • Schwarz claimed his eighth career World Cup win, finishing ahead of Swiss racers Alexis Monney, Franjo von Allmen and overall leader Marco Odermatt by two to three-tenths of a second.
  • Odermatt extended his lead in the super-G standings after closest rivals Vincent Kriechmayr and Raphael Haaser did not finish.
  • Livigno’s Li Zeta course featured two troublesome jumps that shaped results, with Kriechmayr skiing out near the finish and Matthieu Bailet also going out while in podium contention.
  • Livigno hosted a one-time replacement for Bormio, had not previously staged a top-level men’s Alpine race, and will hold Olympic snowboard and freestyle events.
  • The schedule now pauses, with a Jan. 7 night slalom in Madonna di Campiglio and the next men’s speed race set for a Jan. 16 super-G in Wengen.
