Marco Odermatt and Garaventa extend partnership

garaventa2022

Right on time for the start of summer training, Marco Odermatt (24), currently the most successful Swiss ski racer, has extended his collaboration with Garaventa until the end of the 2025/26 season. 

Garaventa and Marco Odermatt have been travelling the same path for four years now. The company recognised early on that the skier was a perfect ambassador for a ropeway company and thus became involved in sponsoring shortly after his multiple gold medal success at the World Junior Skiing Championships in Davos.

A season of many highlights

Overall World Cup winner, World Cup winner in the giant slalom, Olympic champion in the giant slalom, plus no fewer than seven World Cup victories and a total of 17 podium finishes in a single season - I will probably need some time to come to terms with everything I have achieved this season. This season was packed with so many highlights that it’s hard for me to single out specific moments. The omens for this success were already looking good after pre-season training. My preparation in the summer wasn't affected by any injuries and I made further progress with respect to both conditioning and strength. Winning the first giant slalom at Sölden really got my season off to a flying start. It continued with the races in North America: one win and one second place at Beaver Creek.

Of lions and tigers

ol vorbereitung

In my childhood I had pet gerbils in my parents' house in Buochs. Later I wallpapered my bedroom with a lion poster and today, a lion's head decorates my helmet at the Olympic Games. Lions have always fascinated me because this animal symbolizes strength and courage. Qualities that will be inevitable in the next few days at my first Winter Olympics. The slope is breathtakingly beautiful, the snow grippy and aggressive. Wind and sand are the great unknowns at these Games. 

Odi’s Fans at their best

My fans regularly send me their messages, video clips and projects on social media or my website. Every so often, I will use this new fan column to publish some of the articles and messages that have impressed me with their originality, talent for improvization or great commitment and effort.

Conquering the Gran Risa!

A win and a second place in Alta Badia – but the win in the Monday race ahead of Luca De Aliprandini by more than a second, unbelievable, hard for me to get my head around. After the first race on Sunday, I knew I had more in me. All the more satisfying, then, that things went so well in the race on Monday. While successes like this of course help to draw on the very last reserves of strength, I’m happy now that I have some days off to recharge my batteries and also process it all a little.
