Well, afterwards he claimed that it was not his best run, but the time let him hope, that maybe it would be enough to beat Sarrazin. He was proven wrong pretty fast, but why should a second place run be any less valuable? They all want to achieve gold, of course, especially the ones who know they can with their technique and without mistakes. They go to Kitzbühel to win. But like Paris or Kriechmayer or also Franjo von Allmen, he took his heart in his hand and tried to show everything he learned in his career. In the end that is most important, to give your all. And though some of them are seen like the losing ones, including Odermatt despite silver and bronze, I am not seeing "the best" and "the second best" and the "third best". I see many talented and phenomenal people and characters, who sacrificed a lot from early years on for the passion of their sport and their courage to improve their skills with hard work in whatever they do.
