Odermatt edges Kilde in Cortina clash of titans
Switzerland's Marco Odermatt got the better of his great Norwegian rival Aleksander Aamodt Kilde with a narrow triumph at the World Cup super-G at Cortina d'Ampezzo on Saturday.
The defending World Cup crystal globe holder Odermatt missed the past two events, nursing a knee, and ten days ahead of the world championships showed fearsome form.
With the mercury at minus 7 and no wind it was a fast course and the 25-year-old timed 1min 25.57sec over the 2.2km run with Kilde just 0.35sec slower, and local outsider Mattia Casse in third.
Odermatt leads Kilde in both the vent and overall standings.
