The Swiss speed skiers also put on a great show in the Super-G in Wengen. Franjo von Allmen is on his way to his first World Cup victory, Stefan Rogentin is in 3rd place in the intermediate rankings.

Von Allmen has already come close to his premiere twice this winter. In the last two downhill races, he finished second behind his teammates - in Val Gardena/Gröden behind Marco Odermatt and in Bormio behind Alexis Monney. Von Allmen has previously finished in the top three once in the super-G. Just under a year ago in Garmisch, he finished in 3rd place.

Vincent Kriechmayr came closest to Von Allmen in terms of time. The Austrian missed out on the first win of the season for a Ski Austria athlete by a tenth of a second. Rogentin continued his improvement in results in this winter's super-G. His previous record includes 26th place in Beaver Creek, 5th place in Val Gardena/Gröden and 4th place in Bormio.

The fact that Rogentin did this was not necessarily to be expected after his previous history. The man from Graubünden had crashed in the first training session for Saturday's downhill, had taken a break the following day and was still feeling the after-effects with pain in his back and ankles in the super-G.

Rogentin had already taken part in an award ceremony in Wengen after a super-G. He finished second two years ago and has been at the top of the World Cup once before. Last March at the final in Saalbach-Hinterglemm, he won the super-G ahead of his teammates Loïc Meillard and Arnaud Boisset.

Things didn't go as planned for Marco Odermatt in the fourth super-G of the winter. The man from Nidwalden is in 7th place in the intermediate rankings. Monney is the fourth Swiss in the top ten in 9th place.

    First signs of improvement for ski star Sarrazin after horror crash

    Positive developments in Sarrazin's case: the French speed specialist continues to make progress after his horror crash in Bormio and subsequent emergency operation in Sondalo, Italy.

    Team colleague Blaise Giezendanner told "Skiweltcup.tv" that Sarrazin is now able to communicate again and can also follow ski races. Following progress, the Frenchman has been transferred to a rehabilitation center. However, team doctor Dr. Stéphane Bulle emphasized that a return to normality would take several months.

    Super-G: The podium racers this season

    Marco Odermatt won the super-G in Beaver Creek, finished third in Val Gardena/Gröden and fifth in Bormio as the third best Swiss racer - Alexis Money made it onto the podium in third place, Stefan Rogentin finished fourth and Franjo von Allmen sixth behind Odermatt.

    Given the strong performances of the Swiss in the races so far, it would be a disappointment if they did not manage a podium finish in front of their home crowd at the classic race in Wengen of all places.

    The Super-G ranking

    After three races, Marco Odermatt leads the Super-G rankings by a wafer-thin margin ahead of Fredrik Möller. The quiet Norwegian recently celebrated his first World Cup victory after two 4th places. Read more here.

    "Steady Freddy" shakes up the Super-G

    After two 4th places, Fredrik Möller even celebrated his first World Cup victory in the last Super-G. The quiet Norwegian also surprised the Swiss with his performance.

    When Möller finished fourth in the Beaver Creek super-G, it was assumed that he had benefited from the better conditions, like other racers with higher starting numbers. It was all the more surprising when he finished 4th again in Val Gardena/Gröden between Marco Odermatt and Stefan Rogentin. And since Bormio at the latest, when he set a time with bib number 4 that no other skier achieved, it has been clear that Möller is no one-hit wonder.

    When the Lauberhorn races open with the Super-G at 12:30 pm, Fredrik Möller could play the role of spoiler from a Swiss perspective. Unsurprisingly, he himself is holding back with big announcements. "Wengen is a big challenge, a very tough race. But yes, of course I want to leave as many Swiss behind me as possible."
