BORMIO, Italy (AP) --- Swiss racer Franjo von Allmen captured the Olympic
downhill Saturday to win the first gold medal at the Milan Cortina Games.
On a picture-perfect day in Bormio, von Allmen powered through the challenging
course in 1 minute, 51.61 seconds.
His time was good enough to withstand the charge of Italy's Giovanni Franzoni,
who finished with the silver medal. Franzoni's teammate, the 36-year-old
Dominik Paris, had a fast run to take bronze and knock Marco Odermatt of
Switzerland off the podium.
