Ryan Cochran-Siegle’s first Alpine skiing World Cup win ends 14-year U.S. drought
Ryan Cochran-Siegle earned his first Alpine skiing World Cup victory, ending a 14-year American drought in Bormio, Italy, on Tuesday.
Cochran-Siegle, the son of 1972 Olympic slalom champion Barbara Cochran, won a super-G by .79 of a second over Austrian Vincent Kriechmayr — the largest margin in the discipline in nearly five years — in his 101st World Cup start.
Norwegian Aleksander Aamodt Kilde took third. Full results are here.
Cochran-Siegle, 28, became the first U.S. man to win a World Cup super-G since Bode Miller in 2006 and the first to win any speed race since Travis Ganong in 2017.
