Men’s Super-G | Wengen (SUI): Start List, Standings, and Olympic Stakes

The men’s super-G at Wengen arrives at one of the most decisive moments of the 2025–26 World Cup season. Friday’s race is the fifth super-G before the Olympic break, the fifth of six overall before the break, and a critical test in a discipline defined by risk.

Super-G runs at near-downhill speeds, yet athletes get no training runs and only one inspection. Commitment must be immediate, and mistakes are rarely recoverable.

The season has reflected that volatility. Through four races, the men’s super-G has produced three different winners, with five different countries reaching the podium. Still, control at the top remains clear. Austria 🇦🇹 and Switzerland 🇨🇭 have each claimed five of the 12 podium spots (41.7%), combining for 83.4% of all podium finishes. The remaining podiums belong to Norway 🇳🇴, Czech Republic 🇨🇿, and Italy 🇮🇹.

Marco Odermatt 🇨🇭 enters every super-G as the favorite, but this season has reinforced a familiar truth: even the benchmark does not always win in a discipline where risk management is as important as raw speed.

Why Wengen Matters

With three winners in four races, podiums spread across five nations, and Austrian–Swiss dominance still setting the pace, Wengen stands as one of the clearest measuring sticks of the Olympic season. Marco Odermatt remains the standard, but super-G continues to reward only those who manage risk perfectly at full speed.
