Switzerland's Franjo von Allmen secured a commanding victory in the men's World Cup downhill at Crans-Montana, beating Italy's Dominik Paris by 0.65 seconds and marking his second win at the venue. American Ryan Cochran-Siegle claimed third place, 0.70 seconds behind, in the final race before the 2026 Winter Olympics. The event, held amid tributes to a recent local tragedy, provided a morale boost for the Swiss resort.
Giovanni Franzoni claimed victory in the prestigious Kitzbühel downhill race, marking his second World Cup win in as many weeks as the Milan Cortina Olympics approach. The 24-year-old Italian dedicated the triumph to his late teammate Matteo Franzoso, turning personal tragedy into motivation. This success positions Franzoni as a medal hopeful on home snow.
