Marco Odermatt.
Odermatt, a surprise for many only to finish fourth in the individual downhill,
made amends in the team combined to take a silver.
Odermatt was tipped for a potential four gold medal haul here.
Look at the ski rattling and chattering a little,
not the clean, smooth arc that Odermatt is looking for.
That's the risk here because he wants it so badly
and for him coming in to this event at these Olympic Winter Games.
But if he overdoes it, stands on that ski a little bit too strong,
that will bleed the speed away ever so slightly.
It's all about finding the balance for Odermatt and controlling that wheel.
A little too hard and a small mistake off the backside of the San Pietro
may cost him that tenth of an advantage.
It does. Four hundredths of the pace of young Franjo von Almen.
Odi's got work to do here.
Finds that tuck position, that right footed delay gate
and then gets to work on these open super G techniques.
From the world number one, Marco Odermatt is off the line.
Losing the purchase of the ski on these closing turns.
Watch that clock carefully. Marco Odermatt goes for the line
and Odi goes bronze.
That is remarkable.
The champion has come to watch her son in action.
Ryan Cochran-Siegel took silver in Beijing in 2022.
Like many of the speed kings of the World Cup Tour.
Games with top ten performances in super G.
But it's that performance from four years ago
that Ryan Cochran-Siegel will be hanging on to here right now
with a nice green light coming in to Cartentina.
He looks calm and relaxed on the skis.
The RCS rain, blending that into his race plan
and letting the skis fly.
He's standing nicely.
Oh, a nice low flight off San Pietro.
That's what we want to see.
Beautiful timing, split time. He deserves that green light
after near perfect execution over the San Pietro jump here.
Now RCS needs to use those super G skis
whilst searching strong technical turns
but aerodynamic high speeds.
Siegel from the United States of America
with his mum Barbara Cochran watching on.
RCS for the USA!
Into top position.
28 seconds, the right side of the clock for the American racer.
Franjo von Ahlmann searching for his third gold medal
at these Olympic Winter Games.
Looking to join just two other male skiers who've achieved 68.
Will it be Franjo von Ahlmann in Milano Cortina 2026?
Already on these opening turns.
This is the skier that we saw in the downhill
and he has that early green light.
Drops into Cartentina.
He's letting it fly across the side hill.
Look how low he can get in his tuck position
even as the legs are working strong underneath him.
Near perfection for these Olympics in the super G discipline
with three back-to-back podiums.
Absolutely perfect with that racing line off the San Prieto.
Staying with the aerodynamic shape all the way through the flight
and that is why the light goes green
and now almost two tenths the right side of the clock
for the 24-year-old Swiss superstar.
Standing on it too strong.
He's carrying good speed on these closing turns.
And where many are burning, this lad has a power play here.
Franjo now.
First little mistake from the Swiss skier.
Can it be gold medal?
Number three for Franjo.
Franjo von Alphen is there again.
And an amazing three-medal haul is on the cards.
