BORMIO, Italy — Franjo von Allmen of Switzerland joined elite ski-racing company by winning the men's super-G on Wednesday for his third Olympic gold medal of the Milan Cortina Games.
Finding a fast line, von Allmen finished in a time of 1 minute, 25.32 seconds along the Stelvio course to beat American Ryan Cochran-Siegle by 0.13 seconds. Marco Odermatt of Switzerland captured bronze on a warm day.
The 24-year-old von Allmen became the third men's Alpine ski racer to win three events at one Winter Olympics. The other two are legends of the sport: Jean-Claude Killy of France, who won three at the 1968 Grenoble Games, and Austrian Anton "Toni" Sailer, a three-time winner at the 1956 Winter Games in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy.
First gold of Games 'like a movie' for Von Allmen
Swiss Alpine skier Franjo von Allmen was crowned the first champion of the 2026 Winter Olympics as Italians Giovanni Franzoni and Dominik Paris won their nation's first medals in the downhill.
Von Allmen blazed down the iconic Stelvio in a time of one minute 51.61 seconds, 0.20 seconds quicker than fellow 24-year-old Franzoni.
Paris, the veteran on the podium at 36, was half a second slower than Von Allmen as he pipped Swiss great and runaway World Cup leader Marco Odermatt to the bronze medal.
"It feels kind of like a movie, not really real," said Von Allmen.
When the last Olympics took place, Von Allmen was yet to make his World Cup debut but he has enjoyed a meteoric rise to the top.
