March 15 (Reuters) - Switzerland's ⁠Marco Odermatt added the World ⁠Cup Alpine skiing men's super-G Crystal ‌Globe to his overall and downhill titles after the penultimate race of the season was ​cancelled on Sunday.

Organisers called ⁠off the super-G ⁠in Courchevel, France, due to heavy overnight ⁠snowfall ‌and fog making the slope unsafe to race on. A ⁠super-G on Saturday was also cancelled.

They ​said ‌the races would not be replaced, ⁠leaving Odermatt ​158 points clear of Austrian Vincent Kriechmayr with one race to come in ⁠Norway on March 22 ​and 100 points for a win.

Odermatt is also in the running for the giant ⁠slalom title, leading Norwegian-born Brazilian Lucas Pinheiro Braathen by 48 points with one race to go.

The Swiss has ​won the overall World ⁠Cup for the fifth season in ​a row and the ‌downhill for the third ​consecutive year.
