Czech Zabystran upsets Odermatt to claim Val Gardena super-G
Jan Zabystran stopped Marco Odermatt from claiming a 51st World Cup win on Friday with a stunning victory in the super-G at Val Gardena.
Czech Zabystran claimed his first-ever World Cup victory at the age of 27 just as Odermatt looked set to claim his second success in as many days following Thursday's downhill win on the same Saslong piste.
Zabystran clocked a time of one minute and 24.86 seconds to beat his previous best World Cup finish of eighth, at Kvitfjell in March.
That put Zabystran 0.22sec ahead of skiing star Odermatt, the Swiss still taking a 13-point lead in the super-G standings ahead of Vincent Kreichmayr who finished the day 0.72sec off the pace.
Odermatt is also marching towards a fifth straight overall World Cup title and looks in great form with the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics coming up in February.
He leads Henrik Kristoffersen -- who didn't compete on Friday -- by 383 points at the top of the overall standings, with another another downhill scheduled for the same piste on Saturday.
The men's tour then moves across northern Italy to Alta Badia which will host a giant slalom on Sunday and a slalom the following day.
After reaching his half century of World Cup wins on Thursday, Odermatt is joint fourth in the all-time men's list behind Ingemar Stenmark (86), Marcel Hirscher (67) and Hermann Maier (54).
Women's ski star Mikaela Shiffrin holds the overall record with 105 World Cup wins.
