BORMIO, Italy (AP) — Swiss racer Franjo von Allmen captured the
Olympic downhill Saturday to win the first gold medal at the
Milan Cortina Games.
On a picture-perfect day in Bormio, von Allmen powered through
the challenging course in 1 minute, 51.61 seconds.
His time was good enough to withstand the charge of Italy’s
Giovanni Franzoni, who finished with the silver medal.
Franzoni’s teammate, the 36-year-old Dominik Paris, had a fast
run to take bronze and knock Marco Odermatt of Switzerland off
the podium.
