Switzerland secures a podium clean sweep at the Downhill Alpine Ski World Cup in Kvitfjell, with Franjo Von Allmen claiming the top spot, Marco Odermatt finishing second, and Stefan Rogentin coming in third in the battle for victory. This marks the Swiss Team's second triple podium this season, following Crans-Montana two weeks prior. Before this season, the Swiss Men’s ski team had only celebrated 13 triple victories.
Von Allmen won his third race of a breakout World Cup season.
The fight for the Downhill Crystal Globe continues. Franjo Von Allmen has reduced the gap by 20 points to 83. The 23-year-old rising star must win the Downhill in Sun Valley and Marco Odermatt must not finish better than 15th to win the globe.
"The slope was definitely better than on Friday. The colder temperatures and the colder snow was better for me. I feel more confident on the snow. I did no big mistakes, a solid run. It was fun to ski here. Three Swiss on the podium, it's incredibly cool. The team pushes each other. If one doesn't deliver, the other does. Nothing is lost in the battle for the globe," von Allmen said.
