SAALBACH-HINTERGLEMM, Austria — Swiss standout Marco Odermatt has earned his fourth World Cup crystal globe of the season but in anticlimactic circumstances as the final race was canceled due to bad weather. Odermatt's first downhill title saw the 26-year-old become only the fourth male skier to win four classifications in one season and the first since Hermann Maier did it in 2001. The start of the men's downhill was initially pushed back several times because of snow and wind as organisers continued to work on the course in Saalbach, Austria. But it was then officially canceled more than an hour after it was scheduled to start. That handed Odermatt the title as he had a 42-point lead over French skier Cyprien Sarrazin.
