Ryan Cochran-Siegle Defends Olympic Super-G Silver in Bormio

The medal extends a Vermont family legacy led by his mother Barbara Cochran's 1972 Olympic slalom title.

Overview

  • He clocked 1:25.45, finishing 0.13 seconds behind Switzerland’s Franjo von Allmen (1:25.32), with Marco Odermatt taking bronze in 1:25.60.
  • Starting third, he benefited from quicker early runs as the Stelvio course grew slower and more chewed up for later racers.
  • Von Allmen’s victory was his third gold of the Milan-Cortina Games.
  • Barbara Cochran watched from the stands exactly 54 years after her Sapporo slalom gold.
  • Cochran-Siegle recorded no World Cup super-G podiums between his two Olympic silvers, rebounding here after a recent stomach bug and fueling up with a maple-syrup routine.
