Utah Alpine skier Ryan Cochran-Siegle skied to silver Wednesday in Bormio, Italy at his third Olympic Games.
The skier, originally from Vermont who attended Westminster University, finished the men’s super G just 0.13 behind Switzerland’s Franjo von Allmen.
It is his second silver in Olympic super G. The 33-year-old also finished second in Beijing four years ago.
Cochran-Siegle is the fourth American Alpine skier to earn a medal. Utah skier Breezy Johnson won the downhill earlier in the Games and Jaqueline Wiles and Paula Moltzan earned bronze in the team combined. He said their performances pushed him.
“I've been able to draw inspiration from other Team USA athletes so far, especially our women's team, seeing just how hard they've been skiing,” Cochran-Siegle said.
Cochran-Siegle is the son of Barbara Ann Cochran who won gold in slalom at the 1972 Olympics in Sapporo.
Park City skier Sam Morse finished 23rd and U.S. skier Kyle Negomir finished 26th.
