Switzerland's Marco Odermatt in action during the men's giant slalom race of the FIS Alpin Ski World Cup finals in Kvitfjell. Cornelius Poppe/NTB/dpa Swiss ski super star Marco Odermatt skied out early in the final giant slalom of the World Cup season on Tuesday to risk losing the discipline title. Odermatt, who has already wrapped up a fifth overall crystal globe, was hoping to add giant slalom glory to downhill and super-g success this season in Hafjell, Norway.
But his hopes all but ended almost immediately when he erred at the top of the course as the first skier. It means Norway-born Lucas Pinheiro Braathen has the opportunity to snatch the season giant slalom title with a high finish.
