The men's super-G in the 2025 Alpine Skiing World Cup is scheduled to consist of eight events, including the final. The first event of the season did not take place until 6 December 2024 in Beaver Creek. Marco Odermatt of Switzerland is the two-time defending champion in the discipline.
The season was interrupted for the Alpine Skiing World Championships, this time in Saalbach, Austria during 4–16 February 2025.[1] The championship in men's super-G took place on Friday, 7 February, and was won by Odermatt.
Season summary
The first super-G of the season was held in Beaver Creek (Colorado), USA in December 2024, and Marco Odermatt of Switzerland, two-time defending champion in the discipline, recorded his first victory of the season over one of his principal rivals from the previous season, Cyprien Sarrazin of France.[2] The next two giant slaloms were scheduled for Italy; in the first, Italy's Mattia Casse, who had never before won a World Cup race, edged out American Jared Goldberg by 1/100 of a second to earn the victory and move into second in the discipline behind Odermatt, who finished third.[3] In the last race before New Year's Day, Norway's Fredrik Møller recorded his first World Cup victory, edging Vincent Kriechmayr of Austria, but Odermatt's fifth-place finish allowed him to retain the discipline lead by five points over Møller.[4]
The first super-G in 2025 took place in Wngen, Switzerland, and Odermatt only managed to finish seventh, his first time outside the top 5 in a super-G in almost three years (since March 2022), but his young Swiss teammate Franjo von Allmen edged Kriechmayr to provide the Swiss fans with a home winner.[5] Odermatt recovered the next week to win the super-G at Kitzbühel, Austria -- his first victory there in any discipline.[6] Building on this success, Odermatt then won the super-G World Championship by a full second over Austria's Raphael Haaser, which was the largest winning margin in a speed race (downhill of super-G) at the World Championships since 1991.[7]
Finals
The World Cup finals in the discipline are scheduled to take place on Sunday, 23 March 2025 in Sun Valley, Idaho, United States.[8] Only the top 25 skiers in the World Cup slalom discipline and the winner of the Junior World Championship in the discipline, plus any skiers who have scored at least 500 points in the World Cup overall classification for the season, are eligible to compete in the final, and only the top 15 earn World Cup points.
