Switzerland's Marco Odermatt added the ⁠World Cup Alpine skiing men's super-G Crystal Globe ‌to his overall and downhill ‌titles after the penultimate ‌race of the season ‌was cancelled on Sunday.

Organisers called ‌off the super-G in Courchevel, France, due to heavy ‌overnight snowfall and fog ⁠making ‌the slope unsafe to race ​on. A super-G on Saturday was also ​cancelled.

They said the races would not be replaced, leaving ⁠Odermatt 158 ​points clear of Austrian Vincent Kriechmayr with one race to come in Norway ‌on March 22nd and 100 points for a win.

Odermatt is also in the running for the giant slalom title, leading Norwegian-born Brazilian Lucas Pinheiro Braathen by 48 points with ‌one race to go.

The Swiss ​has won the overall ‌World Cup for the fifth season in a row and the downhill for the third consecutive ⁠year.
