Odermatt wins super-G at Copper Mountain as Kilde’s return leaves Shiffrin in tears
  • Swiss skier Marco Odermatt claimed victory in the super-G event at Copper Mountain, finishing just 0.08 seconds ahead of his competitors. This win marks the start of the World Cup super-G season and follows his previous giant slalom win in Sölden, indicating a strong season ahead as the Milan Cortina Olympic Games approach.
  • The emotional backdrop of the race was heightened by Aleksander Aamodt Kilde's return to competition after a 700-day hiatus due to a serious injury, which deeply affected his fiancée, Mikaela Shiffrin, who was seen in tears after his run.
  • This season is pivotal for several athletes, as Shiffrin continues to build on her legacy with her recent 103rd World Cup win in slalom, while Kilde's comeback adds a narrative of resilience in the sport, contrasting with Jessie Diggins' announcement of retirement, highlighting the evolving landscape of competitive skiing.
