Along with the faster downhill, Super G Alpine Skiing is regarded as a "speed" event, in contrast to the technical events giant slalom and slalom.  A super-G course consists of widely set gates that racers must pass through.  The turns are more frequent than with downhill while the speeds are higher than the giant slalom.

Unlike this year's Men's Alpine Downhill event where there are no clear favorites, this one has Aleksander Aamodt Kilde and Marco Odermatt as co-favorites with nobody else anywhere near.

Both pay out between $150 and $200 on a $100 bet depending on the book.

Klide is a Norwegian World Cup alpine ski racer. He competes in four events, with a main focus on super-G and downhill.  Kilde hails from Bærum and represents the sports club Lommedalens IL.

"Kilde is a freak of nature," Norway's physical trainer Daniel Tangen said. "He dominates physical training. He's the perfect athlete.

"He is incredibly strong in every aspect. His endurance and power ... is beyond me."

Odermatt is a Swiss World Cup alpine ski racer. He races in all alpine disciplines and specializes in giant slalom. Odermatt competed for Switzerland at two Junior World Championships and two World Championships.

He is considered "the new guy" and "next big thing in skiing".

“For sure a medal will be the goal,” Odermatt said, but is aiming higher to win the overall World Cup title after finishing second behind Alexis Pinturault last year.

Odermatt’s racing style in the speed events of super-G and downhill is considered to be a bit more unconventional.

“He’s still developing as a skier,” American racer Ryan Cochran-Siegle said. “Technically he is able to put a lot of risk out there, which other guys, when they ski that way, it usually doesn’t pay off. But for him, he seems to be agile enough to kind of sneak through.”
