Overview
- Marco Odermatt won the Wengen downhill for the fourth year in a row in 1:33.14, finishing 0.79 ahead of Austria’s Vincent Kriechmayr with Italy’s Giovanni Franzoni third at +0.90.
- Strong winds forced a significantly shortened course with the start lowered to the Hundschopf jump, making the Kernen S section pivotal.
- Odermatt’s victory was his 52nd on the World Cup and it extended his leads in the overall, downhill, super-G and giant slalom standings.
- One day earlier, Franzoni claimed his first World Cup win by taking the Wengen super-G in 1:45.19, beating Stefan Babinsky by 0.35 with Franjo von Allmen third.
- The circuit heads to Kitzbuehel and Crans-Montana next as men’s Alpine racing builds toward the Olympic events in Bormio at Milan Cortina 2026.
