SWISS FANS POSING IN FRONT OF TEAM BASE STORY: Switzerland's Franjo von Allmen joined a very exclusive club of Alpine skiers as he powered to his third gold medal of the Milano Cortina Olympics with a super-G masterclass down the Stelvio on Wednesday (February 11). The 24-year-old followed his gold in the downhill and team combined with another full throttle blast down the iconic Bormio track to win by 0.13 seconds from American Ryan Cochran-Siegle. He is the first male Alpine skier since French great Jean-Claude Killy in Grenoble in 1968 to win three golds at the same Olympics — Killy doing it in downhill, slalom and giant slalom. Austria's Toni Sailer managed the same treble in 1956 in Cortina, while the only female skier to win three golds in one Games was Croatia's Janica Kostelic at Salt Lake City in 2002. As returned to the team base in  As von Allmen made his return to team base in Bormio, he was swarmed by red-and-white-clad fans who serenaded the new superstar of Swiss skiing. "Unbelievable! Victory plus a big medal — what more could you want? Franjo — 'Nonplusultra', as we say in German," said 39-year-old Christian Studer who watched von Allmen score a hat-trick of golds together with his father Bruno.  (Production: Denis Balibouse, Marleen Kaesebier, Conal Quinn)
