Franjo von Allmen wins third gold medal at the Winter Olympics

Franjo von Allmen won his third gold medal in the men's super-G at the Winter Olympics, narrowly edging out American Ryan Cochran-Siegle.

Franjo von Allmen, a 24-year-old Swiss skier, achieved a remarkable feat by winning his third gold medal at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics. He triumphed in the men's super-G, completing the race just 0.13 seconds ahead of American Ryan Cochran-Siegle, who secured his second consecutive silver medal at the Olympics. This victory adds to von Allmen's earlier successes at these games, having also won gold in the downhill and in the team competition alongside teammate Tanguy Nef.

The competition also saw reigning world champion Marco Odermatt of Switzerland take home the bronze medal after finishing 0.28 seconds behind von Allmen. Odermatt, who was one of the pre-race favorites and has previously won two World Cup events this season, faced stiff competition from his compatriot von Allmen. The final standings included strong performances from other notable skiers, such as France's Nils Allegre and Austria's Raphael Haaser, showcasing the depth of talent in men's alpine skiing.

This success not only highlights von Allmen's exceptional talent and determination but also reflects the strong tradition of Swiss skiing excellence on the world stage. With the Winter Olympics drawing international attention, von Allmen's victories signal a bright future for Swiss skiing and set a high benchmark for upcoming competitions.
