(Lake Louise) Switzerland’s Marco Odermatt won the men’s World Cup Super-G in Lake Louise, Alta on Sunday.
The reigning World Cup winner clocked one minute and 32.53 seconds on the 2.5-kilometer course, winning the first Super-G of the season.
I feel very good. For me it’s a perfect start to the season. Had a downhill podium and now a Super G win.
Marco Odermatt, after the competition
Norway’s Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, who took the honors in Saturday’s downhill, finished second with a time of 1:32.90.
Austria’s Matthias Mayer, winner of last year’s Super-G in Lake Louise, finished third with a time of 1:33.31.
Toronto’s James Crawford was the best Canadian of the day. He signed a 10e Position. However, the 25-year-old Canadian has no sense of achievement.
“I’m disappointed,” Crawford said. I made some silly mistakes and didn’t execute the game plan well. ยป
Skiing is a fast sport, so I’m not worried about the future, but every day that you don’t reach the level you’re capable of, it’s not very pleasant.

Three Canadians leaving outside above 30 managed to carve out a spot in this one, led by Whistler’s Brodie Seger at 13e Rank.
Jeffrey Read from Calgary was 21e and Brodie Seger’s younger brother Riley turned 27e.
