Lapse in Beaver Creek
Odermatt angry: “It’s almost embarrassing!”
Bitter "zero" for last season's dominator: after his surprising exit in the giant slalom in Beaver Creek, Marco Odermatt is heavily critical of himself.
Odermatt was eliminated as in Sölden. While he was caught out in the first run in Ötztal, this time the race was over for the Swiss racer on Sunday after finishing eighth in the second run after just a few seconds. "That's never happened to me before. I changed the setup a bit. Somehow it gets into me, I have to release it briefly and then I'm off the track. It's almost embarrassing," the Swiss rants to SRF.
In any case, the 27-year-old couldn't quite explain his own lapse. "It happened quickly," said Odermatt. He will therefore have to wait for his first points of the current giant slalom season.
Puchner: "That was his downfall"
"The very thing that has made Odermatt almost invincible in recent years has been his downfall in the last few giant slaloms," says ORF cameraman Joachim Puchner in an interview with "Blick": "Marco skis extreme inside positions, and in the past he has often been able to save himself in tricky situations by using the inside ski. But he hasn't been able to do that recently."
Superstar not worried
But Odermatt is not worried, because it works great in training. "It doesn't change much. I know that if I ski well, I can win these races," he says. Will Odermatt strike back on Saturday in the giant slalom in Val d'Isere?
