[OLYMPICS] Ryan Cochran-Siegle Soars to Silver as Franjo von Allmen Claims Historic 3rd Gold in Super-G - SnowBrains

""I don't quite know what's going on myself,""

""I really didn't think it was enough for the podium when I reached the finish line.""

""I felt like I went out there, skied with a lot of heart and just the focus that I've been doing consistently from top to bottom. It's a great place to do it-I feel like I really embraced the slope and the way the snow was and the course set. But the meaning? It hasn't set in. I did not expect this.""

The men's Super-G at Bormio ran on a sunny, fast Stelvio course that produced tense, thrilling racing. Franjo von Allmen, age 24, charged to gold by 0.13 seconds over American Ryan Cochran-Siegle, marking von Allmen's third Olympic gold at Milan–Cortina after downhill and the team combined. Von Allmen becomes the third man in Olympic history to win three alpine golds at a single Games, joining Toni Sailer and Jean-Claude Killy. Cochran-Siegle attacked early from bib 3 on a clean, grippy surface to take silver. Bormio rewarded committed, precise skiing on long gliding sections and technical rolls that punish hesitation.
