Swiss Sweep in Crans-Montana: Von Allmen Claims First World Cup Downhill Win

Switzerland delivered a statement performance in Crans-Montana, sweeping the podium and further cementing its dominance in downhill skiing. Franjo Von Allmen, the newly crowned World Champion, claimed his first career World Cup downhill victory, holding off Marco Odermatt, who charged late but settled for second. Alexis Monney completed the perfect Swiss 1-2-3, as thousands of home fans waved their flags in celebration. Vincent Kriechmayr led the non-Swiss skiers in fourth, while James Crawford finished sixth as the top North American. With just two more downhills in Kvitfjell before the World Cup Finals in Sun Valley, the battle for season-long standings remains intense—though after today, the Swiss now own the top three spots in the rankings.
