Switzerland's Franjo von Allmen won gold in the men's super-G at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Bormio, Italy, securing his third medal of the Games and joining an elite group of skiers. American Ryan Cochran-Siegle took silver, repeating his Beijing 2022 achievement, while teammate Marco Odermatt earned bronze. The race, held on February 11, highlighted von Allmen's dominance on the Stelvio course.
The men's super-G competition at the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics unfolded on February 11 at the Stelvio Ski Centre in Bormio, Italy, where warming weather softened the snow and influenced performances. Franjo von Allmen of Switzerland, starting seventh, completed the course in 1:25.32 to claim gold, his third of the Games following victories in downhill on February 7 and team combined on February 9 with Tanguy Nef. This feat made him the third male alpine skier to win three golds at a single Olympics, after Austria's Toni Sailer in 1956 and France's Jean-Claude Killy in 1968.
Von Allmen expressed surprise at his run, stating, "I was sure that (run) wasn't enough for the podium or even for the gold medal," and credited possible luck with early bib draw and changing snow conditions. He downplayed the historical milestone, saying, "I'm not really interested in what's on the paper... I'm really trying to enjoy the Olympics here."
Ryan Cochran-Siegle of the United States, racing third, posted 1:25.45 for silver, 0.13 seconds behind von Allmen. The 33-year-old Vermont native replicated his Beijing 2022 super-G silver, an achievement timed to the 54th anniversary of his mother Barbara Cochran's slalom gold in 1972 Sapporo. Cochran-Siegle had overcome illness that affected his downhill performance four days earlier, finishing 18th after vomiting before the start. He said, "Today was about really trying to trust my skiing... It’s nice to put down a run top-to-bottom where I felt like I was really pushing in the right way."
Marco Odermatt, also of Switzerland and starting tenth, secured bronze with 1:25.60 despite small errors, noting the slope slowed later, aiding his position: "The slope got slower and slower, so the guys behind didn’t really have the chance to ski much faster." France's Nils Allegre set an early benchmark of 1:25.63 but finished fourth. Italy's Giovanni Franzoni placed sixth, while Dominik Paris did not finish after his right ski detached early in a fast run; he reflected, "I leave with a medal [from downhill], it's a big dream come true."
Other U.S. finishers included Sam Morse in 23rd (1:27.41), Kyle Negomir in 26th (1:28.62), and River Radamus with a DNF. The event combines downhill speed and slalom precision on the same slope as the downhill.
