At the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, Swiss skier Franjo Von Allmen has achieved a remarkable feat by winning his third gold medal, making him only the third male skier in history to accomplish this during a single Winter Games. Von Allmen's victory in the super-G event in Bormio solidified his status among the greats of Olympic alpine skiing. He follows in the footsteps of legends such as Austrian Toni Sailer and French skier Jean-Claude Killy, who both achieved this milestone in the mid-20th century.
Von Allmenβs journey began with his gold medal win in the downhill event, which showcased his skill and determination. His subsequent victories in the super-G and along with Tanguy Nef in the team event have further exemplified his dominance in alpine skiing. The only other skier to have won three golds previously was Croatia's Janica Kostelic, making Von Allmen's achievement particularly significant in the context of both men's and women's skiing.
As the Winter Games continue, Von Allmen's performance not only enhances his career legacy but also sparks excitement around Swiss skiing and its future prospects. With the alpine skiing discipline drawing heightened attention, fans are likely to keep a close watch on Von Allmen's subsequent performances, which could pave the way for even more historic achievements in the world of winter sports.
