Marco Odermatt: The Roger Federer of Ski Racing

“Odi, Odi, Odi!” sounds around the Chuenisbärgli. At the finish the Nidwalden native slides over the barrier, the ski party is perfect.

SRF commentator Stefan Hofmann can hardly praise the high-flyer’s performance enough. «Marco Odermatt, Roger Federer in ski racing gear. I can’t put it any other way,” says the experienced TV man, finding the apt comparison.

Roger Federer also always had the whole of Switzerland at his feet. The Basel native retired from tennis around a year and a half ago. And now you have time to hit the slopes again.

Last January, the 42-year-old posted a video from Lenzerheide GR. And shortly afterwards was an honorary guest at the women’s ski super-G.

With his 18th World Cup victory in the giant slalom, Marco Odermatt catches up with Alexis Pinturault. Only four drivers have been more successful in this discipline so far: Mike von Grünigen (23), Ted Ligety (24), Marcel Hirscher (31) and Ingemar Stenmark (46).
