The legend of Marco Odermatt (SUI) continued to grow in the mountains of Wengen, Switzerland thanks to a dominant winning performance in the men’s Alpine downhill race on Saturday.

Greeted by raucous chants of his name from his home country crowd, the Swiss superstar put together a perfect, otherworldly run (1:33.14) to win his fourth consecutive downhill on the Wengen track: a feat that no other skier has ever accomplished. It was a run fit for the "Legend of the Lauberhorn," who finished nearly eight tenths ahead of the runner up.

"It's crazy. I don't really know what to say. I didn't even know that I could win this record today," Odermatt said after the race. "Now, to have my name on top of both home races, it's crazy."

Vincent Kriechmayr (AUT), who held first for a few moments before Odermatt knocked him off the leader chair, placed second (+0.79). It was the Austrian’s third podium this season, his first in a downhill event and his first since his victory in the Beaver Creek super-G race back in November. 

It was a massive result for Kriechmayr, the highest ranked Austrian in the downhill Crystal Globe standings (9th). Odermatt maintained his top position and extended his lead in both the downhill and overall Crystal Globe competitions. If that wasn’t enough, Odermatt also holds first place in the giant slalom and super-G standings.

Rounding out the podium was rising Italian star Giovanni Franzoni (+0.90). The 24-year-old has had the weekend of his career in Wengen and took his first ever World Cup victory on Friday in the super-G. On Saturday, it was his third career podium (first ever in the downhill) and irrefutable proof that Franzoni had conquered a track that once threatened his career. Three years ago, he crashed hard in Canadian Corner and was helicoptered off the mountain.

Positions four through six were separated by just three hundredths of a second. Franjo Von Allmen (SUI) was knocked off the third step by Franzoni, finishing 0.93 behind the winner. Currently second in the downhill Cup standings, Von Allmen has proven himself deserving of an Olympic spot amongst a competitive Swiss field, as has Alexis Monney (+0.95). Monney currently sits eighth on the downhill leaderboard.

Another man poised to find success at the Winter Games on home snow, Dominik Paris finished just one hundredth of a second behind Monney (+0.96), and six hundredths behind his teammate Franzoni. 

For the U.S., Ryan Cochran-Siegle had the best result of the day, as one of two Americans to finish inside the top 20. He placed 15th (+1.70) after recording 6th in Friday’s super-G. It was yet another strong performance for Cochran-Siegle, who has only missed the top 15 twice in eight races this season. 

He was joined by Bryce Bennett, the first skier on the snow Saturday, who bounced back from a difficult super-G race to finish 20th (+1.96). Americans Sam Morse (32nd), Wiley Maple (35th), Kyle Negomir (42nd), Erik Arvidsson (43rd) and Jared Goldberg (50th) all landed outside the top 30.

Amazingly, out of a field of 56 racers, Wengen saw only two DNFs on Saturday. It was a surprisingly low number for such a physically taxing and tricky track, but also a testament to the high level of competition across the board going into Milan Cortina.

The men's Alpine ski World Cup circuit continues Sunday in Wengen with a slalom. Run 1 will begin at 4 a.m. ET.
