Get set for tomorrow's Alta Badia GS after today's heart-pounding race, where Marco Odermatt clinched his thrilling 16th World Cup GS victory. The Gran Risa slope witnessed Odermatt's dominance again, with Filip Zubcic providing a fierce challenge.

Odermatt, who raced the previous three days in Val Gardena/Gröden, showed no lack of energy while winning his career 16th World Cup GS.

The first racer on the Gran Risa was Norwegian Henrik Kristoffersen. However, after the first seven racers skied, he was (+1.91) behind the Swiss leader Marco Odermatt. When Odermatt skis with his average precision and balance, no one in the world can match him.
