Summary at a Glance

In the men’s World Cup super-G in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, on Saturday, overall World Cup leader and home hero Marco Odermatt took his 45th World Cup victory ahead of compatriot Alexis Monney, while Italian veteran Dominik Paris completed the podium.

The American finished 0.61 seconds ahead of Croatia’s Zrinka Ljutic to extend her record tally of wins at the event and become the first skier, male or female, to reach triple digits in World Cup race victories.

Shiffrin had appeared slightly off the pace in her World Cup return, finishing 25th in the Sestriere giant slalom on Friday and failing to make the cut in the same category on Saturday as home favourite Federica Brignone won the event.

Mikaela Shiffrin secured the 100th Alpine skiing World Cup victory of her career on Sunday, winning the slalom event in Sestriere.

The double Olympic gold medallist then established herself as the most successful Alpine skier in World Cup history, male or female, when she topped the retired Swedish great Ingemar Stenmark’s record of 86 victories.
