Ryan Cochran-Siegle, the son of 1972 gold medalist Barbara Cochran, shocked his way to second place in the super-G on Monday night.
Cochran-Siegle’s time of 1:19.98 down the slopes — passing through wide gates in an event that combines speed and technical ability — was four-hundredths of a second behind Austria’s Matthias Mayer, who became the first man to win an Alpine skiing gold in three straight Olympics.
“What’s up Vermont? I hope it holds!” the 29-year-old said on the NBC broadcast before other racers had finished competing. The Vermont native’s best finish in Pyeongchang was 11th in the giant slalom, and not many would have guessed Cochran-Siegle would be the first American to medal in men’s downhill in eight years. Ryan Cochran-Siegle“I totally believed in him. I knew that he was capable of doing it,” Barbara said on NBC. “You never know on a particular day whether or not it’s going to happen. I’m just so proud.”
