Franjo von Allmen has joined some very elite company after his latest victory at the Milano- Cortina Olympic Games.
The Swiss alpine skier won Wednesday’s super-G to claim his third Olympic gold medal of these Winter Games.
Von Allmen finished in a time of one minute, 25.32 seconds along the Stelvio course, 0.13 seconds ahead of silver medallist American Ryan Cochran-Siegle. Marco Odermatt of Switzerland took bronze.

Von Allmen is just 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.
The 24-year-old von Allmen won the downhill on Saturday and paired with Tanguy Nef to win the inaugural team combined event Monday.
Toronto’s Jack Crawford was the top Canadian finisher in the super-G, posting a 16th-place result.
Cam Alexander, of North Vancouver, B.C., finished tied for 17th. Brodie Seger, also of North Vancouver, finished 22nd while his younger brother Riley did not finish the race.
