Three-time Olympic champion Franjo — 'Non plus ultra' ('no further beyond', in English) as we say in German." 9. 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.
