Franjo von Allmen, Switzerland's rising star, has made history by winning his third gold medal at the Milano Cortina Olympics. He dominated the men's super-G event, finishing 0.13 seconds ahead of American Ryan Cochran-Siegle. This victory marks a remarkable achievement for the 24-year-old, who also won gold in the downhill and team combined events.

Von Allmen's win makes him the first male Alpine skier to win three gold medals at a single Olympics since Jean-Claude Killy in 1968. His teammate, Marco Odermatt, had to settle for bronze, 0.28 seconds behind Von Allmen. The Swiss skier's impressive performance has earned him a spot alongside Switzerland's sporting greats.

Marco Odermatt, the Swiss skiing sensation, had to settle for bronze in the men's super-G event, adding to his silver medal in the team combined event earlier this week. He was outpaced by his younger teammate Franjo von Allmen, who claimed gold, and American Ryan Cochran-Siegle, who took silver.

Odermatt's bronze medal marks a bit of a comedown for the four-time overall World Cup winner, who was expected to dominate the Alpine skiing events at the 2026 Winter Olympics. 

Von Allmen's impressive performance was marked by an aggressive run on a course 800 meters shorter than the one he conquered in Saturday's downhill win. He was the seventh skier out of the start gate, but his speed and skill earned him the top spot.

Franjo von Allmen's thrilling super-G win at the Milano Cortina Olympics was a masterclass in speed and skill. He pushed himself to the limit, often teetering on the edge of control, but it paid off in the end as no other skier could match his pace. His time of 1:25.32 was enough to edge out American Ryan Cochran-Siegle by 0.13 seconds, with Marco Odermatt taking bronze.

The Swiss skier's emotions were palpable as he celebrated his historic victory. He looked almost apologetic when Odermatt crossed the line with a slower time, but his face lit up as the late runners came down, and he proudly held up three fingers for the camera, marking his third gold medal of the Games.

Ryan Cochran-Siegle of the US took silver in the men's super-G event, repeating his performance from the 2022 Beijing Games. He benefited from the better early conditions on a mild morning in Bormio.

Italian veteran Dominik Paris had a heartbreaking day, losing a ski early in his run and sliding out, but thankfully avoiding injury. His teammate Giovanni Franzoni, who was second in the downhill, also faced disappointment, finishing sixth in the super-G event.
