Marco Odermatt added another glittering trophy to his bulging cabinet when he was presented with the prestigious Skieur D\u2019Or 2024 \u2013 skier of the 2023\/24 season \u2013 by the International Association of Ski Journalists (AIJS).<\/p>\n
The award, in its 62nd<\/sup>\u00a0year, clearly reflects Odermatt\u2019s outstanding performances, with his 13 World Cup wins delivering four more Crystal Globes. But it is also indicative of the Swiss skier\u2019s open nature with fans, enthusiastic support of fellow racers and generous availability to the international media.<\/p>\n Women\u2019s Globe winners Lara Gut-Behrami (overall, super-G and GS champion), Mikaela Shiffrin (slalom champion for the eighth time) and Conny H\u00fctter (downhill champ) plus strong performers Cyprian Sarrazin (second in the men\u2019s downhill), Loic Meillard (second overall and in GS) and Federica Brignone (second to Gut-Behrami three times) all received support. But ultimately, nobody could deny Odermatt his second Serge Lang Trophy. The cup was presented to him by Patrick Lang, the vice president of the Georgian Ski Federation.<\/p>\n The Swiss skier now has idol Pirmin Zurbriggen in his sights in more ways than one. Not only is he just three triumphs away from matching Zubriggen\u2019s Swiss leading mark of World Cup victories, but perhaps he can also chase down the great man\u2019s record four Skieur D\u2019Or awards.<\/p>\n See also:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Marco Odermatt added another glittering trophy to his bulging cabinet when he was presented with the prestigious Skieur D\u2019Or 2024 \u2013 skier of the 2023\/24 season \u2013 by the International Association of Ski Journalists (AIJS).
