Swiss alpine skier Franjo von Allmen, the first gold medalist of the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, won the men’s team combined on Sunday to become the first double champion of the Games.

Von Allmen, 24, teamed with Tanguy Nef for “Switzerland 2” and won at the Stelvio Ski Center in Bormio, Italy, in a combined time of 2 minutes, 44.04 seconds.

In the team combined, two skiers split the downhill and slalom, and their times are added to determine the standings.

Von Allmen opened the medal events on Friday by winning the men’s downhill for the first gold of the Olympics. He followed with another gold in the team combined. He has also drawn attention for working as a carpenter at construction sites in the summer.

Von Allmen skied the downhill leg in 1:52.22, fourth-fastest overall. Nef then posted the top slalom time of 51.82 seconds to put them in front on the combined clock.

Two teams shared the silver medal at 2:45.03: Austria’s Vincent Kriechmayr and Manuel Feller, and Switzerland’s Marco Odermatt and Loic Meillard.

Odermatt, the men’s overall leader in the International Ski and Snowboard Federation World Cup this season, earned his first podium of the Olympics after finishing fourth in the downhill. He skied the slalom leg in 1:52.08, one of the faster times in that run.
