Stefan Rogentin claimed the first Alpine Skiing World Cup win of his career with victory in the super-G in Saalbach.

Rogentin led home a podium clean sweep for Switzerland, with Loic Meillard second and Arnaud Boisset third.

Rogentin hit the front early, his time of 1:13.36 edging out compatriot Meillard by just 0.03 seconds.

“I had a good feeling in the morning, and I just tried to ski very soft, it was a great run,” he said afterwards.

"The conditions were difficult, so the feeling was not so good, but in the end it was a good finish and a green light is always good."

Surprisingly Marco Odermatt was not among the trio, with the overall World Cup champion finishing back in fifth spot.

That, however was enough to clinch the small crystal globe in super-G ahead of Vincent Kriechmayr.

“Last season my super-G season was nearly perfect,” he said. “It was my first speed globe, so it was probably even a bit more special.

"But today I still had to fight for it. It was the first time I had to fight for the globe in the last race, we all know what can happen."

Odermatt, competing in the downhill on Sunday, can still break his own overall season points record total set last season.

Cyprien Sarrazin was the only non-Swiss athlete in the top five, the Frenchman finishing fourth as he gears up for the final downhill race of the season this weekend, where he is the only person who could deny Odermatt a third small globe in addition to his overall victory.
