Saslong Sprint Downhill

Franjo von Allmen edged Marco Odermatt to win the Saslong Classic downhill as Switzerland swept the top two spots again and Italy earned its third podium in three days on home snow.

Marco Odermatt claimed his 50th career World Cup victory and fifth win of the season in Thursday’s Val Gardena sprint downhill. Switzerland went 1–2, while Italy thrilled the home crowd by placing four skiers inside the top 10 amid fog delays, dramatic crashes, and standout high-bib performances.
