ADELBODEN, Switzerland (AP) — Marco Odermatt has carried his remarkable streak in giant slalom to another World Cup win at Adelboden. Swiss star Odermatt’s classic home race was staged after weeks of unseasonably warm weather. The Olympic champion extended his first-run lead in fading light to beat by Henrik Kristoffersen by 0.73 seconds. Odermatt’s teammate Loïc Meillard was third. It was Odermatt’s fourth win in five World Cup giant slaloms since October and his 14th straight podium finish through the past two seasons. Warm and snow-free weather created conditions Swiss broadcaster RTS described as “almost a miracle” to stage a race.
