'Super Dario' pulls off 3-peat in cross-country 15K free
PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (AP) — Switzerland's Dario Cologna has solidified his legacy as one of the best distance cross-country skiers of all time.
Cologna, known throughout his sport as "Super Dario," became the first cross-country skier to win three Olympic gold medals in the same event, capturing the 15-kilometer freestyle in dominating fashion Friday. He also won this race in Vancouver in 2010 and Sochi in 2014.
"It takes a lot of effort to just to win one gold medal," Cologna said. "To write a little bit of history feels pretty good."
Cologna's three-peat gave Switzerland its first gold medal of the Pyeongchang Games.
