The 32-year-old Paris dominated the race down the icy
Stelvio piste in northern Italy to finish 0.24 sec ahead of Odermatt with Swiss
Niels Hintermann third at 0.80.
Odermatt's first podium finish in the downhill extends his
lead in the overall World Cup standings to 286 points on Austrian
Matthias Mayer, who finished 12th on the day, with two Super-G races on Wednesday and
Thursday.
Meanwhile Paris added to his impressive run of victories in
the Lombardy ski resort after wins in 2012, 2017, 2018 and twice in 2019. No
skier has won a downhill race on the same piste as many times.
Paris has missed out just once on the Stelvio, finishing
fourth last year as he made his comeback following ruptured ligaments in his
right knee.
For Paris it was the 16th World Cup downhill victory of his
career.
Odermatt continued his blistering form ahead of the
Winter Olympics in Beijing, notching up a seventh podium in ten races so far this
season.
