Marco Odermatt won his third Alpine Ski World Cup Giant Slalom race in a row, her 4th consecutive victory in Adelboden.
Loic Meillard finished in second place 0.20 seconds behind his teammate. Luca de Aliprandini took third place, finishing 0.69 seconds behind, after moving up nine positions thanks to the fastest second run.
The 26-year-old Swiss has won the Giant Slalom World Cup in Adelboden in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. Ingemar Stenmark (four times between 1979 and 1982) and Odermatt are the only skiers to have won four consecutive Giant Slalom races in Adelboden's "Chuenisbärgli" hill. Stenmark won a total of five Giant Slalom World Cup races in Adelboden. Odermatt also joins Marcel Hirscher in second place on the list of Adelboden winners, who has also won four times.
Since the start of the 2021-2022 winter season, Odermatt has competed in 33 Giant Slalom World Cup races, winning 24.
With 26 wins Odermatt is third in the all-time list for most Men's World Cup Giant Slalom victories. Ingemar Stenmark (46), and Marcel Hirscher (31), make up the Top-2.
"Every victory is special in its way. I know that Loïc wanted to win too. I had already accepted second place, but thanks to a good finish slope it was enough. But I almost felt guilty. I was extremely lucky again. It was very good at the top and then my skis came off again. I was lucky enough to save myself. It was extremely close. I think I decided the race on the finish slope in the first run. If I don't ski like that, I won't be in the running for the win," Odermatt said.
