Marco Odermatt secures fourth straight super-G World Cup title

Switzerland's Marco Odermatt clinched the World Cup super-G title for the fourth consecutive season on Sunday without racing. Both scheduled super-G events in Courchevel, France, were canceled due to heavy snowfall and fog. Odermatt's 158-point lead proved insurmountable.

In Courchevel, France, organizers canceled the men's World Cup super-G race on Saturday, March 14, 2026, because of fog and ongoing snowfall. Sunday's event, set for March 15, was called off hours before its start, with the International Ski and Snowboard Federation stating that “the slope is unfortunately not safe to race on.” With the season concluding next week, neither race was rescheduled. This outcome allowed Marco Odermatt of Switzerland to secure the super-G discipline title for the fourth year in a row. Odermatt holds a 158-point advantage over Austria's Vincent Kriechmayr in the standings, a margin too large to overcome given that a race victory awards 100 points and only one super-G remains at the World Cup Finals in Norway. Odermatt has secured victories in two of the season's six super-G events, making him the only racer with multiple wins. His third-place finish in Friday's downhill race locked up both the overall World Cup title and the downhill globe alongside the super-G. He enters the final giant slalom events as a strong favorite, having claimed all four globes in each of the past two seasons.
