Kitzbühel, Germany, 24 January 2026 (dpa/MIA) - Alpine skiing World Cup leader Marco Odermatt claimed his second super G win of the season in the prestigious Hahnenkamm mountain in Kitzbühel, Austria on Friday.

The Swiss clocked 1 minute 08.41 seconds, beating team-mate Franjo Von Allmen by mere three hundredths of a second. Austrian Stefan Babinsky was third.

"Not perfect I would say," Odermatt said of his run.

"I had a very good start and a very good finish but in the middle, the left-footer in the Lärchenschuss (gliding section) and also the Hausberg (demanding incline) was not exactly how I planned it but still I somehow managed to let the ski go and bring those three-hundredths to the finish line," he said.

"In the end when you are at the start you want to give your best, it does not happen all the time that you have the same power, the same focus maybe. But it's a victory in Kitzbühel."

This was Odermatt second victory in Kitzbühel having already won the super G last year.

The four-time World Cup champion, however, still has one milestone missing from his long list of achievements: a downhill win at the iconic ski resort.

He will have a chance to complete this task on Saturday and is the favourite to take the win.
