Overview
- Marco Odermatt won by 0.49 seconds over Lucas Pinheiro Braathen, with France’s Leo Anguenot third, as the top two posted identical second‑run times in falling snow and poor visibility.
- The victory marked his fifth consecutive giant slalom win at Adelboden, matching Ingemar Stenmark’s run at the storied venue.
- The result reinforced his overall World Cup lead and restored his advantage in the giant slalom standings, with Reuters also noting he currently leads downhill and super‑G.
- Former points leader Steffan Brennsteiner crashed out in his second run, and racing in Adelboden continues Sunday with a slalom that Odermatt will skip.
- Media reports differ on his exact season and career win totals, with figures varying across outlets and requiring official confirmation.
