SAALBACH, Austria (Reuters) – Swiss Franjo von Allmen won men’s downhill gold at the Alpine World Ski Championships in Saalbach on Sunday, clinching his first medal in a major event.
The 23-year-old revelation of the season, who last month celebrated his first World Cup victory in the super-G in Wengen, completed his run in one minute and 40.68 seconds.
Austria’s Vincent Kriechmayr took silver, 24 seconds behind, and Alexis Monney of Switzerland claimed bronze. Defending champion Marco Odermatt finished fifth.
