Marco Odermatt won the Giant Slalom Crystal Globe for the fourth consecutive time. Despite an erratic start to the season, with two DNFs, he was again the absolute dominator of discipline. Henrik Kristoffersen and Loic Meillard placed second and third in the standings for the discipline.
Eight World Cup wins this season, three discipline Crystal Globes (Downhill, Super-G, and Giant Slalom), and another Overall World Cup title. Marco Odermatt (Switzerland) has once again demonstrated he is the most consistent and therefore the best ski racer of our era for the fourth consecutive time.
He finished the 2024-2025 winter season with 13 Crystal Globes (4 Overall, 2 in Downhill, 3 in Super-G, and 4 in Giant Slalom). With 13 Globes, Marco Odermatt has become the fourth most successful men's skier of all time. Marcel Hirscher with 20 Globes, leads the way, Ingemar Stenmark is second with 18, and Hermann Maier is fourth with 14.
The 27-year-old Swiss has competed in nine Men's Giant Slalom World Cup events this season and finished on the podium in seven, including three wins in Val d'Isere, Alta Badia, and Adelboden.
In the 37 Giant Slalom World Cup races Odermatt has competed in since the start of the 2021-2022 season, the Swiss skier has won 24. Only Marcel Hirscher (31 wins) and Stenmark (46 wins) are in front of him on the all-time Men’s Giant Slalom win list.
With 45 wins (4 DH, 15 SG, and 26 GS) and 88 podium finishes across all disciplines (42 in Giant Slalom, 25 in Super-G, and 21 in Downhill), Odermatt holds the record for the most World Cup podiums by a Swiss male skier.
