Swiss ski star Odermatt leads World Cup giant slalom seeking record 5th straight win at Adelboden

Swiss ski star Marco Odermatt was well set Saturday to win his nation’s signature World Cup giant slalom race for a record fifth straight year. Odermatt raced through steady falling snow and tough visibility to take a lead of 0.49 seconds in the first run, despite dropping about two-tenths of a second with a rare error close to the finish line. Lucas Pinheiro Braathen of Brazil was second-fastest, and Timon Haugan of Norway was third with 0.53 to make up in the afternoon run.
